Has there ever been a penalty in high school football for running up the score?

Answer 1

I have not heard of a penalty on the field for running up the score. However, in 2006, the football committee of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which governs high school sports, adopted a "score management" policy that will suspend coaches whose teams win by more than 50 points.

Additionally, there are several states in the country that continuously run the game clock in the second half if a team has a 35-point lead.
