This doesn't warrant a red card?

If there was ever a play that deserves a red card and immediate ejection (and suspension) it's the one shown in the video.

KSL.com reports that East High (Utah) player Petiola Manu unleashed this vicious blow to Wood Cross' Makenzie Clark after frustration at some non-calls during aggressive play from Clark.

Manu apologized and the Utah High School Athletic Association is investigating and Manu will be disciplined by the school according to KSL.

"A knee to an unprotected head is unacceptable, that kind of unsportsmanship is unacceptable, and I don't want a player to get away with this to set a precedent for it to be able to happen again, that they can get away with something," Clark's mother, Susie Clark, said.

I would expect a season-long ban but the incident poses the question: Why was Manu allowed to finish the game? Where were the officials? Were they afraid of receiving a similar blow to the face?
