There are quite a few questions surrounding the Dudley situation. Like most of you, I want them to be able to defend their championship, but did they do everything they were supposed to do? Read the rules, and then make your judgment. Dont just jump on the bandwagon without knowing the facts. Here is what the rules state have to happen in order for a player to play in the varsity game: In emergency or “lack of depth” situations only, freshman and/or sophomore junior varsity football players will be allowed a maximum of 8 quarters per season of “on the field” play as a varsity football player. This is an allowable exemption from the rule counting dressing for a game as participation in a varsity contest and will enable a junior varsity player to be available for emergency or lack of depth participation in the varsity contest. The intent of the rule is to give coaches some alternatives for junior varsity players to continue to gain value game experience at the junior varsity level and still be available as a backup player in the varsity game. The following conditions must be met: • A maximum of 12 different players may be 8-quartered during the regular season. Such players must be pre-determined prior to dressing for participation—completion of the 8 Quarter Pre-Approval Form containing signatures of a licensed athletic trainer or medical doctor, principal, athletic director, and parent/legal custodian. (If a designated player or players participated in the junior varsity contest, medical information shall include evidence that player(s) is adequately hydrated and void of injury that would render player(s) unfit to play.) The form must be filed at the school and with the conference president on the day of the scheduled game. • Following the game, a status report on the designated players must be completed which shall include the names of all freshman and sophomore junior varsity football player(s) designated and dressed as emergency players and report the number of quarter(s) in which each athlete actually played. Any portion of a quarter equals a quarter played. If a player dresses out but does not play, record as 0 quarters played. Form must be signed by coach, athletic director and principal and submitted on line to the NCHSAA by the first school day after the varsity contest. • Anytime a JV player must be used as a starter on the varsity team, that player is eligible for either the next JV game or varsity game. • $500 fine for failure to submit follow-up form to NCHSAA.
