IN NC - we have been told they ARE ILLEGAL ! Period.
The reason - especially in the opening games - is heat related -- and how they keep the heat in - on the head -- which can lead to physical problems -- (heat stroke - dehydration etc.)
That is considered part of the equipment when we ask the head coach - 'are all your players equipped legally?"
When he says "YES" - that means - NO SKULL CAPS. If one is found/ seen - it's 15 yards on the head coach. You better believe he knows it and police's those things.

William, that's incorrect. While it is against NCHSAA policy for them to be worn, under no circumstances should a penalty be assessed to the offennding team.

If that's what you've been told you, I would urge you toask your booking agent to contact Chapel Hill and verify. That is not what Dick Knox has stated at the State Rules Clinics in each of the past two years.
