Game Summary
The game was inappropriately refereed and a danger to the Atlantic Coast players. This game served as a poster child of what the new rules are attempting to prevent. The game was reported to head of referees and FHSAA. Ultimately, an AC player was strapped to a spine board and sent by ambulance to the emergency room where he was in the critical care unit and released two days later. The game was stopped by AC after this final incident. Video of the game is being sent to the referees of the dangerous play of St. Josephs and refusal of the referees to even to call a penalty, let alone get St. Josephs players under control. This game was a no-contest and should be deleted from Maxpreps.
