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!!

Why repeat the question. NO, getting beat is not an emergency. Which is why so many states have opted to create their own mercy rules that supercede the NFHS rule.
