What happens if, during a fight, players leave their positions to intervene?

If players leave their positions to intervene in a fight, all players involved in breaking up the fight are ejected. This policy exists to deter players from taking matters into their own hands and to maintain order during chaotic situations. The rationale behind this rule is to prioritize safety and discouraging further escalation of violence. By enforcing a strict ejection policy for all players who leave their designated areas to interfere, it sends a clear message about the seriousness of fighting and the need for players to remain disciplined.

In most sports governed by NFHS rules, any actions that disrupt the game and involve players stepping outside their roles are subject to penalties. The integrity of the game and the well-being of all participants are paramount, leading to this decisive action against any intervention. This helps officials manage the situation more effectively and underscores the consequences of engaging in or escalating conflicts.
