Encroachment is the proper penalty under federation rules! Offside is a live ball foul by the defense under NCAA rules only. Neither the word "offside" nor "offsides" appear in any NFHS publications, (exception, under signal 18 on page 80 of the 2003 rules for you trivia buffs.)
While I would never support carrying a rule book on the field during a game, I think you and cmatthews should consider doing a little post season rules reading and study group activity!

KWH, I made a mistake if the play was only NFHS, but I didn't see that in the original play. How did you determine that it was NFHS rules? The word 'encroachment'?
And please don't lecture me (and my guess CMATTHEWS may agree) on post season rules study. I know that I need to study the rules every year and have already begun for next season. It must be nice to have it all figured out like you. But, please show me where the post asked for the NFHS interpretation. Thanks.
