penalty on scoring play

Did anyone see that there was a successful 62-yd extra point kicked by a HS kid? There were three unsportsmanlike penalties after a TD. I think it started with USC for celebrating and then the coach flipped out and got a couple more himself. I believe it was in the Washington, DC area. The kicker is going to the University of Virginia next year.

That must have looked like an unusual formation. After marking off 45 yards it should have been a 65 yard extra-point. Otherwise you didn't have a scrimmage-kick formation.

I was trying to figure out the yardage, too. Maybe the paper got it wrong, but it was definitely unusual.

I thought it was new this year that the scoring team could take the penalty on EITHER the extra point OR the kickoff.

Incorrect. Suceeding spot is the only option.

Unless that was a local (MN & ND) rule adopted by the state associations. [/QUOTE]
I suggest you check with your association's Rules Interpreter, but I would find that to be unlikely.

Newspapers are known for their "accuracy".
