Dispute over length of quarters leads to high school football game’s cancellation

By Dan Shulman Globe Correspondent,Updated September 21, 2019, 5:37 p.m.
In the Mayflower Conference game between Atlantis Charter and Holbrook/Avon, the teams played 12-minute quarters.BARRY CHIN/GLOBE STAFF/GLOBE STAFF

A significant challenge to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association’s switch to a new set of football rules arose this week when South Shore Vocational Technical High decided not to play Friday’s game against West Bridgewater because of a disagreement over the length of the quarters.

Hanover-based South Shore wanted to play 10-minute quarters in keeping with a decision by the Mayflower Conference to bypass the rules of the National Federation of State High School Associations adopted by the MIAA this season. West Bridgewater, also a Mayflower Conference member, wanted to play 12-minute quarters as required by the NFHS so it wouldn’t jeopardize its ability to qualify for the postseason.
