The use of this rule does not preclude the use of NFHS Rule 3-1-3, which
reads: “A period or periods may be shortened in any emergency by agreement of
the opposing coaches and referee. By mutual agreement of the opposing coaches
and the referee, any remaining periods may be shortened at any time or the game
terminated.”


That is my question, is one team getting beat the EMERGENCY that this rule was written for?? It says periods may be shortened in an emergency by mutual agreement of the coaches and the referee. 3 people have to agree that one team getting their lungs kicked in is an emergency!!
