Can someone explain to me the rule on this I thought players get ejected for this foul. Is that not what happens in highschool football. We had a player from another team get this targeting foul he left his feet and lead with his helmet making contact with the other players helmet. They called it a personal foul. I know people have their different opinions on this but just curious of the rule at the highschool level.

No such thing as targeting in high school. Not by name at least. It is illegal helmet contact or spearing. In college you have the ejection but in high school you only get an ejection if the officials believe it was a deliberate or intentional act with the desire to create an injury.

 

So if this play happened and the kid had not been having any other issues during game. The correct call is probally the PF (personal foul) 15 yards from end of the run or previous spot depending on results of the play. Hope this helps clear it up some

I understand that it's about the safety of the kids and I'm all for it but on another note I've noticed in several games this year they seem to be really late on blowing the whistle when forward progress is stopped and the runner is still fighting for extra yards. When this happens your always going to have a defender come in and lay a lick to stop it. It's kinda like they're getting set up for a foul

It is a tough line to toe when its time for a whistle in that situation. Too quick and as you are blowing the whistle the ball carrier squirts out other side, too late and you get someone trying to deliver a huge blow. These instances dont really match up to targeting (illegal helmet contact) is more on defenseless players and/or just launching with contact above shoulders.

I agree, it's a fine line

      This is a great question. The retirement seemed a little premature. I do not know the coach personally, but I hope he has found what he is looking for. He is a fine Christian man with a lot of principle and morals about him. I wish him nothing but the best. There are some players in the box for the next coach. This is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.

      Agree? Your the one defending a dude with your life for getting a DUI. That's the worst thing on here.

      Can’t believe no one posted on this and gave this team the recognition they deserve!  AAU team Tennessee went to Iowa and done what no other team had ever done and took down Iowa and the strength by holds in AAU nationals!!! Yes McCallie had a solid group of 8th graders and they showed up but we had an AAU team that wrestled their butt off and we didn’t just place in the top 5 … we won the whole dang thing! Yes the NHSCa’s were happening and that may have hurt but never once had TN ever won the national folkstyle duals national championship!!  It was a team effort and some amazing young kids!!!    We are not a fly over state any more… on a side note : we have any even better team for cadet National's team duals in Utah and have a chance to sweep both duals which would be unprecedented!!! However the funds aren’t there and USA isn’t in th position to help these kids get to utah as was AAU that got us to Iowa! Stay tuned for some oppertunities to help make a statement for Tn!!!
