OT Rule

Not sure who it was but I remember a little while back someone was talking about if an OT drive started with a penalty(15 yarder in this example) why would the team be allowed a chance for a first down and not be 1st and goal from the 25 instead. Well last night in the Catholic B.R./Zachary game Zachary was issued a 15 yard penalty to start their drive. The refs initially made it 1st and 10 from the 25 before the Catholic coach ran to them with a rule book stating it should be 1st and goal. Surprisingly the refs listened to the coach and made the change. Catholic went on to win in OT 35-28. I’ve seen games in the past where the refs had it at 1st and 10 allowing for a first down. 
 

Sorry Picayune fans to bring up Catholic.

It was the Wayne County-George County game. Wayne County got the ball first and scored. After the TD a dead ball unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was called on George County. They were given the ball at the 25 and instead of it being first and goal. It was 1st and 10. They picked up a first down and scored on their 5th play from around the 14.
