Report it, sure. Go crazy about it? Like you said, not really the umpire's issue. It is also not unheard of happening, nor anything new. If neither team wants to continue playing (remember, both teams agreed to this), what are you going to do?
Simple, I'm going to do what my state HS association directed me to do in such a situation, stop the game right there, file the report, they declare the game a forfeit.
It's a forfeit because the team "refused to continue to play" (yes, in this sitch I realize they're refusing/declining to continue to play offense), but the fact remains that for all intents and purposes they're saying..."we've had enough, we don't want to play anymore."
