For such games, if there is no policy, and if the game is played under NFHS rules, then shouldn't an official use the NFHS rule, which, to me, sounds like the kid doesn't play, unless someone (coach, parent, fan, etc.) claims that they are "an appropriate health care professional"?
NFHS 2-8: The officials shall:
ART. 5 . Immediately remove a player from the game who exhibits signs,
symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion as in 3-3-8.
NFHS 3-3-8: Any player who exhibits signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent
with a concussion (such as loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness,
confusion, or balance problems) shall be immediately removed from the game
and shall not return to play until cleared by an appropriate health care
professional.
