If you knowingly allow a player to play extra quarters, you may have to deal with the opposing coach and school who may bring the issue to the league commissioner or whomever. I believe you notify the coach of the need to use another player and suffer the consequences. If he/she chooses to use the player in question, that will be their problem. Rules are rules and the state or league instituted the rule for a reason. Don't knowingly break the rule. Inform the coach and let them decide. Schools who knowingly break the rule are not administering their programs in a sportsmanlike manner.
Also, the OT is considered an extension of the 4th quarter. It is not another quarter.
