  6. Good Penalty enforcement question… TRICKY! A, 1/10 @ A’s 45 YL. A1 is sacked @ A’s 35 YL. During the down A2 is guilty of an illegal block below the waist @ A’s 47 YL. The crew enforces the foul from the 47 YL.

  7. K1 KO to start 1st half. K’s FK is grounded and rolling at R’s 7 YL. R2 intentionally kicks the ball into K’s EZ to prevent K2 from falling on the loose ball. The LJ says this is a new force by R2. The R signals illegal kick and calls this a TB and enforces the penalty from the succeeding spot (R’s 20 YL) and the ball is spotted 1/10 @ R’s 10 YL.

OHSAA Mechanics

  1. 4 Officials: A, 2/5 @ B’s 11 YL. The U moves to the EL.

  2. Prior to the KO the U is required to memorize the kicker’s shoe and sock color so he can see him as he is more than 5 YDS from the KT line.

OHSAA Regulations

  1. After a 1 hour and 20 minute lighting delay the R informs each team’s HC they will have a maximum of a 3 minute warm up period if they need it.
