California Rules

I was watching a Taft vs Crenshaw game on television last night. Does California play modified NF rules? The reason I ask this question is the referee allowed a muffed free kick enter the endzone and allow the kick returner to retrieve the ball and return the ball to his own 13 yard line. I saw many players wearing adornments.

There are many high school games shown on our cable system. I've seen games officiated by Tennessee, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, California and Alabama officials. Sideline control and adornments were not emphasized in any of the games. I was really surprised that the officials for the Neese vs Hoover game did not enforce sideline control or adornments. Our state office sent out e-mails concerning both of these items during the preseason. Both e-mails contained strong language concerning the enforcement of these items.
