I honestly didn't know there wasn't a pocket under NFHS rules...I played high school football in Texas which means NCAA rules. Then again, when I saw the differences between NFHS and NCAA rules like somehow being able to get called for PI for face guarding w/o contact, I was shocked (and that's just some of the IMO stupid rules/interpretations I think NFHS football has).

And it's just getting worse with NFHS eliminating automatic 1st downs on DPI next year.

Many years ago when I still did baseball I was working the field in a high school game between two small private schools in Texas. The assistant coach was also the father of the catcher for the home team. Catcher was having a rough game, several passed balls and Coach Dad was really riding him.. more and more with each miscue.

Finally during one of these dress downs from the dugout catcher stands up, drops all his gear on home plate, pulls off his jersey, and walks away.

Sad.
