Playing NFHS rules. Runner in coming home with Catcher at the plate.

The runner has no time to react, and hits the catcher. The runner is called out for not avoiding contact. Seems like the right call, but just one of those situations that is not fair to the runner.

I would drop the terminology that a runner is out for not avoiding contact.
That will not be a true statement most of the time, since baseball by nature will have lots of contact.
As long as its unintentioned then its usually a "play on" situation.
