In NC High School play can a ball intercepted in the end zone be returned? There was a play at Freedom Friday night where the ball was intercepted inside the 5, and in such a case could the returner use the end zone to evade tacklers (I saw a similar play in a college game yesterday where the DB returning an interception crossed back into the end zone from the field of play) which sparked my curiosity. Also what would happen if a defender intercepted a ball on the field of play and then let his momentum carry him back into the end zone and then was either tackled or knelt?
Thanks!
