Oakland v Oral Roberts Head Gear

Anyone catch the head gear on the Oral Roberts Player? It looked like boxing head gear with the logo blacked out by a sharpie. They said he had 3 concussions over 3 weeks. Legal in HS?

Briefly discussed a similar wrestling headgear issue in this thread:

Two Firsts For Me

Approved by the state as an exception or let it go? What say you ref?

Probably actually makes the game safer now as any head to head contact is softer than it normally would have been and less chance for injury.

Wonder if with concussions now, this is going to be the rage - like sleeves for elbows?

FASHION POLICE! Someone call the Fed. We need new rules!

Hey, it could happen!

Yes, it's legal (use 2-3 if you have to) in FED games.

The medical staff shouldn't be allowing him to play when he's had 3 concussions in three weeks. He shouldn't even get 2 concussions in 3 weeks because he should be sitting out. A lot of lip service is paid to "caring about the safety and futures of our young athletes" but that's all it is: big talk, no action.

Doesn't NFHS rule 3-5-3eEXCEPTION(a) already cover it?

R3-5-3(e) Head decorations and headwear, except those specified above, are prohibited.
EXCEPTION: State associations may on an individual basis permit a player to participate while wearing a head covering if it meets the following criteria:
a) For medical or cosmetic reasons- In the event a participant is required by a licensed medical physician to cover his/her head with a covering or wrap, the physician's statement is required before the state association can approve a covering or wrap which is not abrasive, hard or dangerous to any other player and which is attached in such a way it is highly unlikely that it will come off during play.
