The other field goal was the equivilant of the Blind Squirrel and the Nut. There was no redeeming value in the game other than the $55 game fee and that it was close to home. Half time was 36 to 1.

In football there is the mercy rule 35 points in the 32nd half, there should be such a rule in the NFHS rule book. If you were writing the rule what would your mercy rule be?
There is... but they leave it up to the state to adopt and institute the procedure. 5-5-3 Note.

Mine would be: 30 point differential - running clock in the 4th quarter (just like Illinois had a few years ago).
