Awarded score: period extended?

"The penalty"? "The penalty results in or is the TD. Do you allow a choice of a further penalty? Or is the awarded score not considered a penalty?"

You got me there. After looking more closely at NFHS rule 9-9-4 the penalty looks to be the awarding of the TD. It also looks like no yardage is to be assessed on the try or the ensuing kickoff. The extension of the period for the try is covered by rule 3-3-3 “A period must be extended by an untimed down if during the last timed down of the period, one of the following occurred: d If a touchdown was scored, the try is attempted unless the touchdown is scored during the last timed down of the fourth period and the point(s) would not affect the outcome of the game or playoff qualifying.”

In the play at the beginning of this thread, the penalty is a TD being scored (awarded). When a TD is scored the scoring team is allowed a try for point. The try is a special part of the game. It is not apart of the penalty for this play, but it is a result of the awarded TD.

The ensuing kickoff is apart of the next period because the foul was non-player foul and you do not extend a period for that type of foul.
