  4. 2nd and 16 from B’s 31YL. QB A12 starts to scramble from the shotgun formation and is tackled by B67 5 yds behind the LOS. During the tackle B67 is flagged for a PF face mask foul. The crew enforced the penalty from the spot of the foul making it 2nd and 6 from B’s 21 YL.

  5. 2nd and 13 from A’s 14YL. QB A12 pitches the ball backward to RB A42. A42 sweeps right looking downfield to throw a halfback pass to A88.

OHSAA Mechanics

  1. 3rd down and 3 from B’s 6YL. At the snap, both the HL and LJ hustled to the GL as they were in a GLM situation. A32 was tackled in the middle of the field right at the 3 YL. Both had to work their way back for a spot and charged the field ½ yard apart from one another creating an appearance of uncertainty in a critical situation.

  2. With 11 seconds left in the first half the HC for A told the officials that they were taking a knee. So as a result, the officials inform Team B they are taking a knee and everyone should demonstrate good sportsmanship.

OHSAA Regulations

  1. During a Saturday morning JV game, one team wanted to kick-off after they scored but the other team did not have a kicker and said they did not want to kick-off. So as a result, the crew allowed the one team to kick-off but placed the ball on the 35 YL for the other team.
