I read in the NFHS handout that I got at theis years rules meeting about catch/no catch. I said that there MUST be a voluntary release. However, in the NFHS rules, under the definition of catch it says that the fielder must complete the catching action, or something to that effect. It says that if he stops, he ends the action and the catch is completed. Under NFHS rules, other than on a third out where he is running in, does he have to have a voluntary release?
What if a fielder dives and catches the ball, but is injured? Can another fielder remove the ball from his glove and the catch still stand?
