I'm curious as to what other states are doing (other than in NJ). Every year (as most of you do) we are asked by our organization to put in suggestions for new rules, either to the NFHS or to our state for state adoptions. I'm curious as to what the mercy rules are for other states with respect to making the clock a running clock.
We had a 48-0 at halftime and eventually a 62-6 contest. I was the R and ran the clock on extra points, after incompletes, OOB, etc. It was almost obnoxious running the clock the way I did and both coaches gave kudos to us for how we actually ran it. The losing coach wasn't completing any passes, yet went to a no-huddle and ran qb draw, qb draw, qb draw most of the day. It was horrible for the kids. The winning coach felt absolutely horrible and he even apologized afte the game which he didn't have to do. He's a 31-year coach and ran the ball between the tackles most of the game and never once passed in the 2nd half with his 3rd and 4th teams. And, they STILL scored a couple of TDs in the 2nd half.
I'm just curious as to what some of the guidelines are.
