Somebody who thinks St. John's did the right thing by quitting, please explain it to me. When you're down, getting beat, JUST QUIT! Is that the lesson you want your kid to learn. If so, you should not be a parent.

Well the scenario that played out last night, their coach requesting to stop the game means we discuss this on yappi, If he doesn't do what he did last night, it's being discussed on a national level because there was a huge fight.

Can we take a moment to acknowledge that SJC's coach was an absolute unit of a human being? He made those refs and Coach Moore look like children standing out there in the middle of the field at the end of the game.

How so? Don't know what you saw that I missed. Saw a discussion , both coach's shook hands. Pretty much what I saw.

Was that the penalty for hurdling I believe?

I didn't think the hurdling call was right, as the defender was down at thigh level. OTOH, the rule might say something like the defender has to have some body part other than his feet on the ground.

EDIT:
HURDLING: 2-22, 9-4-3d

Hurdling is an attempt by a player to jump with one or both feet or knees foremost over an opponent who is contacting the ground with no part of his body except one or both feet.​

The hurdling rule is an NFHS thing nationwide. Not an OHSAA decision.

As for that photo... looks to me that it's NOT a hurdling. Hurdling is when one player has both feet planted and you jump over them. Or attempt to. Falling forward or dying toward you does not create a hurdling call. Or at least shouldn't. But I've seen officials call it both ways when it shouldn't have been. It's one of those rules in a year or so we'll see a 'point of emphasis' at the start of the year to make sure officials get it right.

The NFHS rule is quoted above. Let's just say that your representation is not consistent with the NFHS wording.

He's not on his feet. Toes aren't feet. He's falling forward. But as I've said, I've seen hurdling not called hurdling, and seen jumping over a diving player called hurdling. Enforcement is different than the actual rule as written.

Hence why I said what I said.
 
Not really sure why the OHSAA is getting blamed for the hurdling call.... As has been stated already, this is a NFHS rule which is used nationwide....
I am loathe to defend the OHSAA but they aren't at fault for this one...
Also, four officials threw their flags on that play - all viewing it from different angles...
When it happened I immediately thought it was hurdling and the pic of it sure looks like the rulebook definition of hurdling...
