Dora recovered a onside kick only for fultondale to be called for a false start and fultondale got to retry the onside kick. How can the defense not decline a false start on a kickoff? Fultondale recovered the second onside kick and thankfully for dora they dropped a wide open hail mary that shouldve won them the game.

My best guess is that since you can?t do that in general you can?t do it during a kickoff, although I have no clue what the rules are exactly for that scenario.

I think because a false start is a dead ball penalty

False start is a pre snap/pre play penalty so it is a dead ball play. The officials see it as the play never happened. It should have been blown dead immediately.

The rule that drives me nuts in HS ball is "offsides" In every other level of football this is not a dead ball penalty but in HS it is.

Go Eagles!
