Team travels all the way from New Jersey and gets absolutely screwed by some amateur officials...Not one security guard at game...Parents running on the court...California team gets 6 free throws after a scuffle between both teams...Look at the video...Now this team can't even participate in the NJ Basketball State Tournament...California HS Sports is an absolute JOKE!
 
Thanks to Google I figured out what game you're talking about. Redondo Union 58-54 over St. Patrick, NJ at the San Diego Under Armour Holiday Classic on Dec. 29th.

That was a tough loss for St. Patrick - they had a 3 point lead, 54-51, and the ball with 7 seconds left. Redondo had to foul at that point but St. Patrick wasn't in the bonus yet so wouldn't be shooting. However, the player fouled was sent sprawling to the floor and soon players from both sides got into it. I only saw one punch being thrown (by #11 of St. Patrick) and most of the so-called brawl was a bunch of pushing and shoving.

Since 3 more players from St. Patrick were ejected (5 vs. 2 from Redondo), I guess that's why Redondo was awarded six technical foul FTs. They converted 5 and retained possession. St. Patrick had to foul and Redondo sank two more FTs to make the final 58-54.

Being banned from the playoffs seems very harsh for what happened. What are the NJ bureaucrats thinking?
