I would also like to add that in the NFL the HL gives the dead ball signal before the snap, then drops the signal when the C grabs the ball and signals if the WR is on or off the line. Is this what should be done in HS?

There are alot of signals that you shouldn't see in HS that you see in NFL. My personal pet peeve are those officials that put their hands in the air after every play. Yes the NFL does it, but there it has a reason... I've been told that the NFL times everything for stat purposes. That is probally what is going on here with the HL. They are probally timing the amount of time that the ball is not "in play" or some such. All that said, this is not what should be done in HS. Maybe someone else can explain the whole NFL timing stuff better than I.
