NFHS Rules

  1. K 4 th /6 on A’s 28 YL. After the kick, K62 slaps an RT player in the head in an attempt to shed the block to go downfield. During the return, R32 blocks in the back. The R announces both penalties and offsets both since they are both live ball fouls.

  2. A 3 rd /6 on B’s 46 YL. A22 advances to B’s 40 YL where B52 grabs the facemask in attempting the tackle. A22 stays on his/her feet to B’s 37 YL where A22 fumbles. A64 recovers the fumble on B’s 43 YL. Where is the enforcement spot for the FM penalty?

  3. A 3 rd /6 on B’s 46 YL. A22 advances to B’s 40 YL where B52 grabs the facemask in attempting the tackle. A22 stays on his/her feet to B’s 37 YL where A22 is being gang tackled so he/her hands the ball back to A12, who advances to B’s 32 YL. Where is the enforcement spot for the FM penalty?

  4. A 3 rd /12 on A’s 3 YL. A12 throws a pass which is intercepted by B22 at A’s 12 YL. B22 returns the interception for a TD but B72 is flagged for holding in A’s end zone during the return and before the score. Where is the enforcement spot for the holding penalty?

  5. K 4 th /12 on B’s 35 YL. During the punt, which rolled into B’s EZ, R24 is flagged for a block-in-the-back at B’s 25 YL. Where is the enforcement spot for the BIB penalty?

  6. B calls a time-out with A on their 12 YL. The HC for B comes on the field between the 9-yard marks to talk with his team with his headset still on. In the team huddle and using the headset the HC talks with the defensive coordinator. The U approaches the HC and tells the coach that in the huddle he is not allowed to use a headset while on the field during the TO.

  7. Early in the 1Q the U sends B82 out of the game for the pants not covering the knees. Later in the 3Q the R stops the GC to send B82 out of the game for pants not covering the knee. The U informs the R about the 1Q withdrawal so the R throws a flag and penalizes B82 with a UNS foul.

OHSAA Mechanics

  1. Team A scored with 1:42 left in the game making it a 2 point differential game. The R instructed the Crew to use onside kick mechanics. The HL/BJ were on the KT 40 YL, the U/LJ were on the RT 50 YL and the R took a position on the RT 20 YL in the middle of the field since no RT players were deeper than the 30 YL.

  2. K’s KO goes high and deep to the corner of the field nearest the LJ. The RT player caught the kick on their outside arm while standing on the GL near the pylon. The nose of the ball penetrated the GL so the LJ blew the kick dead, signaling TB and running toward the 10 YL #’s at a 45 degree angle.

OHSAA Regulations

  1. Prior to a JV game the officials asked both HC’s if they wanted to FK, one coach did not want to so they ruled no FK’s. During halftime the HC who was against kicking realized he may need to onside kick in the 2 nd half to secure a win. He asked the officials, “if everyone agrees now can we FK in the 2 nd half”.
