Horse Collar Tackle to be Penalized
The National Federation Of High Schools announced their rule revisions for the upcoming season on February 13th. The most notable rule change, effective with the 2009 season, will make it illegal to grab the inside back or side collar of the runner's shoulder pads or jersey and subsequently pull the runner to the ground. The penalty will be 15 yards from the succeeding spot. This change mirrors similar rules at the pro and college level.
