At the time, South was leading 12-7, but it remains unclear whether the game will be credited as a win or if penalties will alter the outcome. Ohio High School Athletic Association rules state that the score at time of stoppage may become final. Briggs coach Harold Bates noted that the decision is pending on the OHSAA's official ruling, with potential ramifications for ejected players.
