This may not be a very practical post, so just consider it for "test taking" purposes:
Illegal under NFHS rules, unless allowed under state association guidelines. Without such guidelines, no running clock, just shorten the periods, or in the case of a nonvarsity game, shorten the number of periods. For a nonvarsity game, just the coaches can decide this, don't even need the referee's permission.
A quarter(s) may be shortened in an emergency or at any time by
mutual agreement of the opposing coaches and referee. Playing time and number
of quarters for nonvarsity game quarters may be reduced by mutual agreement
of opposing coaches.
NOTE: A state association by adoption may institute a running clock when a specified
point differential is reached at a specified time in the game.
