Guys, thank you for all the varing opinions. Alot of you have been on this Earth a while, and seen alot of different teams play. Its never one play that loses a game. Kinda think some players thought the game was in hand. Had Vero not missed two kicks, you could have a different game. 44 years ago I watched the "lil rascals" win a championship againt PC Mosley. I hope Im wrong, but I dont think Ill see Vero back there again, before the Lord calls me home.
Thanks for all the info and such through the last year.
Recon Ill talk to you all in August. God bless you all!
Jambun someone posted this on Facebook and curious if this is true since the FHSAA rules are based off of NFHS, although I do know that some do differ. What’s your take, should that have been a dead ball penalty right there?
“NFHS Football Rule 9-1-3
Assisting the Runner
"No player shall assist the runner by grasping, pulling, pushing or lifting him to advance."
Approved Ruling / Interpretation
A teammate taking or stripping the ball from a runner in order to advance it is considered assisting the runner.
The act of grasping the ball carrier or the ball itself to gain yardage is illegal unless it is a legal handoff or backward pitch initiated by the runner.
Penalty (Rule 9-1-3)
5 yards
Spot foul
Ball becomes dead immediately when the illegal assistance
The player who took the ball from the receiver approached him from the front and was never behind them during the exchange. The ball was handed to him in front him and not a backwards lateral. It states that a handoff in front of the line of scrimmage applies to this and is considered illegal. As stated in just curious about this if the play should have been called dead right there. Win/loose state championship or kick off classic I’d just like to get your take on this one particular play compared to what the rules would be. The screenshot is at the moment the players exchanged the ball. In front of the original recover and beyond the line of scrimmage. Thank you.
