So in High School football even though it doesn't say it the player need to maintain possession all the way through the catch ?... is this what we are going with this........
I guess some might, I would not.
You tell me if I'm wrong but I believe you're saying that:
1) A1 possesses the ball
2) Comes down with one foot inbounds (By rule, we now have a catch).
3) Comes down with his second foot (Now having taken two steps).
4) Falls to the ground (He is now down).
5) The ball comes out. (This is not a fumble as the receiver is DOWN!)
Only under NCAA and NFL rules does the receiver have to maintain possession all the way to the ground. I have no idea why we would apply those rules in NFHS play.
If he doesn't have control of the ball from the time his first foot touches until he hits the ground, then obviously it's incomplete.
Under no circumstances will it be a fumble if he loses control after he hits the ground, so I don't know why that's being suggested.
My two cents.
