So who runs the game here? The cops or the referees?

Maybe the referees should have told the cops they were doing a very poor job of controlling the crowd, and then forfeit the game. What would those dip stick cops have done then?

You are right. That would have put a stop to the stupidity.

If I read the story correctly, it was the visiting team fans who started the problem in the first place. Forfeiting the game would only encourage these people to start more trouble on every road game.

A better solution would be to ban that visiting school to play any ore games for the rest of the season. High school football is not important to die over, except in certain parts of Texas, from what I hear.
