Sorry Camron, but that is completely untrue. The NFHS published an interp a couple of years ago stating the exact opposite of what you have written. The team must play with four until the next opportunity to substitute.
Please don't get caught up in MTD's opinion's which he includes with the actual text of the rules. His quotations of the rules mean something. His personal interpretations of those rules don't.
