However, multiple disruptions in the crowd caused officials to cancel the game at halftime, according to a report by\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wjcl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WJCL in Savannah<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Apparently, there was no real threat, but the disruption was caused by a TikTok challenge meant to make it seem like there was a chaotic incident going on. Officials called off the game out of caution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What&#8217;s truly weird is that this same matchup ended in roughly the exact same way when these teams met last season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/highschool.si.com\/national\/2023\/08\/19\/tiktok-challenge-cancels-benedictine-jenkins-high-school-football-game-early-in-georgia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mike Swanson at Sports Illustrated<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, last year&#8217;s game was canceled just before halftime, with Benedictine leading 45-0. That cancelation came after there was an altercation (a real one) in the stands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;It was an eerily similar result to last year&#8217;s Benedictine-Jenkins game, when an altercation in the Jenkins stands led to a panic, causing spectators to rush out of the bleachers, Savannah Now reported after last year&#8217;s game. Benedictine was leading 45-0 with 2:10 remaining in the first half when the game got called early last year.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Benedictine was declared the winner, starting their season 1-0.
