looks to me like one school tried to fix the situation and the other said we'll take the forfeit W....... there's a whole lot of officials and a whole lot of football fields in this state......

Not really that many officials, that is why you see so many Thursday games. KHSAA even put out a memo to try to get teams to schedule playoff games on Thursday for the opening week. A lot of the ones that officiate on Friday night turn around and do JV on Saturdays. Some choose to only do varsity games. Others, do college games on Saturday.
