Forfeiting a Game...Has it Come to That?

I read an article about a high school basketball team in Georgia that is forfeiting a playoff game because the school is afraid that a brawl will happen and mar the game. After reading the article, I still don’t understand why the school had to forfeit. Was the state unwilling to figure out a safe alternative, like having a closed game or better yet, bussing the basketball teams to an undisclosed location (at least a hundred miles away) and letting them play? This story was unbelievable to me. I mean I guess the school did what was best for their students, but it’s unfortunate that they couldn’t play the game.

Status: A bit confused.
