[This is a pretty boring video, but since the event is so outrageous, here ya go.]
While attending the high school football game at Lake Washington High School versus Garfield High on 9/2/11, we witnessed an event that none of us had ever seen before in our lives.
With 10:17 to go in the 3rd quarter, a routine dive play by Garfield resulted in a fumble with Lake Washington recovering. Garfield called a time out and pulled all their players off the field. From that point on they refused to take the field. Lake Wash. players and referees waited on the field while delay of game penalties continued to mount. Garfield's players simply stood in a long line on their sideline in protest [with locked arms]. One of Garfield's coaches walked across the field speaking forcefully to one of the referees and then walked off the field or was ejected. After about 20+ minutes, the Garfield team [forfeited and] left the field. This video captures the scene.

This was a poor display, a very disturbing and dangerous message for the poor kids of Garfield......This Coach actually raised his hands as he was leaving thinking he was some kind of Hero for doing this.....He should be dismissed and find someone that teaches the kids to NEVER QUIT and win or lose you shake the other teams hands and go to the next game and try and win that one with honer..Steve Wozeniak PGA Director of Instruction 425 533 4711
