We just have to trust that they have done their job properly. If it comes out after the fact that the scorer screwed up, it's now up to the state/league to decide if they want to do anything further.

The official stance of the NFHS is not to accept any protests. That has never stopped individual states/leagues from doing so however.
Right, understood, all I am saying is if it was determined after the fact that the other team actually won by a point, the association could always award the win to the other team after the fact...but if they are tied what do you do have them go back and play OT? Agreed, this is not the officials concern, but it would be interesting...
