On a fumble by A, the ball is spotted where it was last possessed if the ball is not recovered by A or B.
Before anyone asks, I'm not quoting this from any rule book but if someone looks it up, I'm sure you will find it (NFHS).
If I'm wrong, please correct me (as I know you all will).

Derock, this post is in all sincerity and I mean you no harm or disrespect. Im apologizing for all the negative comments and my unprofessional demeanor. But brother Im asking you to please give us a break
I registered at this site in Sept of 2000. Its format and moderation has made it one of my favorites. Of all the ones I regularly post at this one has maintained the best decorum of the lot... Ive not run across anything like your postings here or any other board for that matter since I started doing this. Every official Ive seen post here the last two and a half years has shown all the integrity and professionalism expected from men and women pursuing this avocation. There are some of the most experienced and knowledgeable officials in this country posting at this site. This cant be said about some other officials and fans posting at other boards. I come to this forum to study and learn how to officiate using NFHS rules. Many others do too. Then there are some who are interested in learning both NFHS and NCAA rules. Occationaly we even get someone asking about NFL rules or a fan asking for clarification about something they've seen on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday ball game. I'm wondering why you come here. What is it you're trying to contribute to this board? You tell us you read your book every year before the season starts then refer to it during the season when necessary . Are you reading the same one you got when you first started 7 years ago, or do you get one from your association ever year just like all the rest of us do? How and when do the officials in your association take their annual NFHS test? Do you take the NFHS test open or closed book? And whats the lowest score Maryland will accept for certification? You must know this as you've told us you could have worked HS ball if you'd wanted too. If you were posting to every thread at this board for learning purposes or if you even had a post where you were asking about something youre not sure of and need clarification Id commend your enthusiasm. But youre shooting from the hip and giving fanatic rulings arent helping you or anyone here one bit.
Derock , My daddy used to tell me its better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you a fool , then to open it and remove all doubt . Take some time and just read the posts. Then ask some questions. Stop trying to teach. Youll build credibility a lot faster that way. Some integrity might follow. And then I stop getting all wound up and go back to my happy place 8^)
