NFHS - Same numbers

Ed, what if the local official's association said to have leniency at the sub-varsity level when it comes to jersey numbers? We have had to show this in basketball as well, where we would have two players with the same number. Am I to screw the association and go by the book? Do I jeopardize myself with the possibility of the AD squealing to the assigner that I disregarded the association's stance?
