Why was game called ?
Salem was up 77-7 a few yrs ago at the half and they played the whole game. So it’s probably up to the coachesDoes anyone know if there is an "official" VHSL Mercy Rule; or do they leave it up to the two schools to come to an agreement?
THIS IS A PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
A game MUST go a full half to be official.
interesting... I couln't find it there (in football or in general) OR in the 2014 NFHS book.
I know some years back the VHSL basically re-did the whole section on football... maybe it WAS there but isn't anymore?!?!?!? I have no idea what box my older Handbooks might be in.
But I'm not the only one who 'knows' about it... Taft Coghill at the Fred. paper mentioned it a few weeks ago.

So since it didn't go a full half, does it count?According to the WTVR TV Station Website out of Richmond:
HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Manchester started fast, as they scored 49 points in the first quarter as they handed Hermitage their worst loss in school history, 70-0. The game was called in the second quarter due to lighting after a delay.
Lancers starting quarterback Brendon Clark played less than a quarter as they didn't want to risk injury. He threw a touchdown and added one on the ground in his time on the field.
Clark's backup, Roemell Garcia scored three touchdowns in the second quarter and ended the night with 116 yards on only six carries.
Hermitage was shutout for the fifth time this season and have been outscored 419-62 this season.
