I've seen the film. There were at least 6 flagrant facemask that were not called. That is why it kept happening and eventually led to kids getting hurt. Coaches even said the refs were yelling at each other for being out of position to make the calls. As I've said, did not affect outcome, but setting kids up to get hurt is not excusable.

I agree with you 100 percent. The officiating did not have an impact on the game, but I think officials in general need to do a better job policing the game. The kids playing today are bigger, faster, and stronger than in the past. The game is changing, and there is a reason why there have been rule changes.
