  5. A, 2/5 @ A’s 40 YL. B1 is standing within 1 yard of the LOS before the snap. B1 stomps his foot abruptly and A1 flinches. The LJ flags A1 for a false start.

  6. A, 4/G @ B’s 8 YL. B1 intercepts A1’s pass in B’s EZ. B1 attempts to run the ball out of the EZ into the field of play. B1 runs to the opposite side of the EZ where he is downed in the EZ. The BJ, LJ and HL signal safety.

OHSAA Mechanics

  1. The score is A18 – B12. The A HC informs the officials his team is taking a knee. The Crew pinches in and informs all players that A is taking a knee and nothing rough.

  2. During a running play the LJ holds his position on the LOS as the ball carrier runs to his side of the field into the SZ.

OHSAA Regulations

  1. An A assistant coach curses at an official and receives his 2nd UNS foul on the SL. The LJ disqualifies A’s HC.
