I'm an Editor for a high school football website in Illinois & I'm doing a small opinion piece on Sideline Warnings, and I was wondering about what would happen in a bizarre situation like a frustrated kid coming out of the sideline or off the bench & tackeling someone on a sure fire break away TD.
I'm sure that he'd get ejected from the game & if he was a junior, might never be allowed to play again, but I can't believe that it would just be a 5 yard penalty for Sideline Violation, would you tack on a unsportsman like contuct 15 yarder on there as well? Or do you rule the play a TD? And in that case, what do you do if it wasn't a sure fire TD?
By the way. This hasn't happened. HS sports as far as I've seen it hasn't gotten that bad.
