Surprised to not see any thread about this story.
Missouri's Class 6 title game this past weekend was stopped with over 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Perennial power CBC was going for a 3rd straight title, but Liberty North was out for revenge after losing to CBC the past two years.
To me this seems like a school who isn't used to losing having a hard time accepting their fate. Story mentions 4 unsportsmanlike penalties (3 on CBC) in 4th quarter. Sounds like the game was getting out of hand, but would expect the CBC coach to get his team under control and finish the game.
Seems to be sending a poor message to his players by asking for game to end early. Maybe he comes from the same coaching philosophy as IC's coach...when it gets tough, just give up.

"After consulting with the coaches and the officials, there was an administrative decision to end the contest," MSHSAA communications director Jason West said.
