In a 7th grade game using NFHS, the coach previewed us on some plays that might be confusing. One was a screen pass that his lineman would go downfield about 4-5 yards before the ball was passed, but his fullback would catch it behind the neutral zone so it wouldnt be an ineligible receiver downfield. Not being sure, I checked on it quick. All I could find was Table 7-5 #3, Ineligible Receiver Downfield.
It states: Ineligible A players may not advance across the expanded neutral zone before the last pass which crosses the neutral zone is in flight unless touched by B in or behind the neutral zone. This doesnt seem to be on point because the coach said the ball would be caught behind the neutral zone, not crossing the neutral zone in flight. They didnt run the play, so it was a non-issue. Can someone please help me out with this, though? In NFHS, is it an foul ineligible receiver downfield foul on a forward pass that is caught behind the neutral zone as Ive described in the example above?
