A try that has ended is merely a thrown ball. If that can be ruled only worth two points by the NFHS, so can a pass because a pass is merely a ball thrown to another player.
The NFHS change years ago was to instruct officials when it was unclear whether a thrown ball was a try or a pass. If one couldn’t tell, then it counted the same as a 3-point try. However, if the thrown ball was clearly a pass and had no chance of entering the goal without another touch, then it could only be worth two points.
