As someone pointed out waaaaay back, the rules cover that too. NFHS rule 2-2-4 says that the final score is approved when all officials have left the visual confines of the playing area. From our(the official's) standpoint, anything that happens after that is irrelevant as far as we're concerned. We can't do the scorer's job as well as ours. We just have to trust that they have done their job properly. If it comes out after the fact that the scorer screwed up, it's now up to the state/league to decide if they want to do anything further.

The official stance of the NFHS is not to accept any protests. That has never stopped individual states/leagues from doing so however.
