    Junior Bowl game

    They wouldn't be able to play as a team with their high school coaches. But nothing would prevent them from playing in a travel ball type situation with no affiliation with the school (uniforms, coaches, activity buses, etc.).

    My Breakdown of what 8 Classes Could be if they'd quit playing around

    They can't hardly fine anyone for anything without Sen. McInnis and his band of cronies sticking their nose into it. Concerning realignment, last week representatives of the NCHSAA came to the NCADA conference and gave the athletic directors a problem to solve. Each county was given a list of...

    Junior Bowl game

    Junior players? With middle schoolers, yes. There's a Junior Shrine Bowl played around New Year's Day each year. With freshman, sophomores and juniors, no. Seniors are only allowed to played because their high school eligibility has been exhausted. No different than college players not being...

    Onside kick rule

    Yes it is. The kicking team may not contact a receiving team player until: 1- the ball goes 10 yards or 2- the ball is touched by the receiving team or 3- the receiving team blocks first. It's a 10 yard penalty.

    Pants rule

    Two different things, Coach. If the player is wearing pants and has knee pads in his pads, then he is legally and properly equipped. If the knees are not covered, then he is failing to wear the equipment as designed. The rule doesn't allow for the head coach to be penalized if the player...

    Whole teams, eh?

    Pants rule

    Kevin, I'm afraid we're just a few years from not playing. Not just football but across the board. At the lower levels where new officials start out, things are horrible. Abuse, both verbal and physical, is rampant. With social media, every missed call is played over and over and over. Kids...

    Pants rule

    NCHSAA officials are constantly being ridden about this issue. It isn't our desire to be the knee pad police or the towel police. As I think I said above, we wish the rule would go away. Unfortunately this is not a "spirit of the rule' issue. They want the letter of the rule enforced. I...

    Team EJECTION RULE

    That rule no longer exists. I seriously doubt you'll ever see that happen again.

    That rule no longer exists.

    Pants rule

    They likely did warn him. But the warning is not "You need to cover your knees after this play," and he still gets to play this down. No, the warning is "#5, pull your pants down to cover your knees." He makes little or no attempt to do so. When he does this, he's getting sent out. I had a...

    Pants rule

    Lol. Here we go. Coach, you're entitled to that opinion. Unfortunately, we don't get to ignore a rule situation just because a coach thinks we should. The NFHS and the NCHSAA are on officials to make sure knees are covered. When it comes to to player safety, they want the letter of the law...

    Team EJECTION RULE

    I'm pretty sure that rule no longer exists. I read through last year's Handbook and could not find it. As Sportsnut17 said, the Anson County ban a few years ago is what started this whole legislative agenda regarding the NCHSAA. I'm guessing that's why it was removed. Now, two Level 4...

    Pants rule

    You get the rule. Why don't players and coaches get it? We do warn them. We warn the coaches about it in the coaches' meeting. We warn the players about it in the captains' meeting. We warn the player once the game starts. If he corrects it, he stays. If he doesn't, he goes off. The oncoming...

    Interception question

    That's the correct ruling. It's known as the momentum rule, so you're on top of it. When a kick, fumble or interception is caught inside the 5 yard line and the player's momentum carries him into the end zone where the ball becomes dead, the ball comes back to the spot of the recovery/catch...

    Safety or penalty, but not both?

    It was assessed incorrectly AND your thinking is wrong. 😉 The down would be replayed. You wouldn’t get the ball at the spot.

    Safety or penalty, but not both?

    No penalty causes a team to lose possession, so no, the receiving team does not get the ball at the 4. The options are: 1- the result if the play which is a safety or 2- replay the down after assessing the penalty from the 8y/l.

    Assisting Runner

    As long as the pile is being pushed and not specifically the run, most of these plays are legal. Where I’ve seen it called mostly is when the runner is pulled or even carried forward.
