Yes it is. Most see more NFL and college games so they are more used to those rules. The favorite thing I love to hear from the fans in the stands is when a DL jumps off sides and jumps back and gets flagged is, "He got back". In High school once the plane is broken, there is no "He got back".

 

And it is not offsides in high school. There is no offsides in high school. It is called encroachment in high school.

or.... "They broke the huddle with 12 people!!!!!" in high school a substitute has to leave in a reasonable time.

 

This is an ongoing problem in NKY and its not called, recently saw it on a kickoff, ball is on tee, whistle is blown, 2nd kid in from end on his team sideline walks off field right by ref no call. I think the kid even gave the ref a "good ballgame" pat when he walked by. Now imo he should have been flagged for "illegal participation" LOL

A substitute has to leave in a reasonable time. Most of the time if someone comes into the huddle and they break the huddle and then someone runs off the field they will flag it. This is in part to prevent the 1 guy in 2 guys out trick plays. Now the kickoff thing you'll never get it called. Just like you aren't going to get a call about a defender running off the field once he gets so close to the sideline.

 

There are a ton of rule differences between Fed (what KY plays by) and NCAA and NFL. You hear the whole "they can't touch a wr past 5 yds" thing. Try getting a clear statement about what is a horsecollar in HS football. 4 weeks in a row and we got 4 different answers. Blocking below the waist is different also. Honestly I wish we would just go to what TX and Mass play by which is a modified NCAA rule set.

I hate the touchback rule in High School, kick off goes into the endzone its out to the 20 yard line. Againt Trinity in the playoff game Doug Beaumont couldn't advance the ball one time, and I'd liked our chances with Doug. Pro/College gets this.

Is there a certain reason why high school has this rule as where in college/nfl once you get outside of the tackle box you can throw the ball away as long as it makes it past the line of scrimmage

 

I think that was one of the rules enacted to help reduce injuries to quarterbacks in the NFL. I don't think high school sees this as that big of a problem on their level.
