Our exceptions don't deal with anything like that, the IHSA rules do.

REPLY: I agree that it would be good for you to post the specifics of the plays you'd like us to comment on. However, blocking below the waist by a running back is illegal regardless of where he is--free-blocking zone or not (see NF 2-17-2). And using a player in a pretended substitution to deceive his opponents constitutes illegal participation at the snap (see NF 9-6-4c). I would doubt that the IHSA or your league would set aside either of these rules.
