New Hampshire Football Report is pleased to announce that Steve Hall's "Officially Speaking" column will return for the 2008 season. "Officially Speaking" is a feature that allows readers to submit questions about high school football rules.

Hall has been a New Hampshire high school official since 1989 and has officiated more the 200 varsity games. He has also officiated nearly 30 playoff games and worked his 11th championship game last year (Pinkerton Academy vs. Nashua South in Division I). Hall, who is a member of the New Hampshire Football Officials' Association Board of Directors, has been the NHFOA rules interpreter for the last eight years.

Anyone who has a question about high school rules, be it a strange play, an unusual formation or a ruling that you didn't understand, can send that question to rbrown@nhfootballreport.com. "Officially Speaking" will run each week throughout the 2008 season, or as often as questions allow. This year's first "Officially Speaking" column is scheduled to appear the week before the NHIAA regular season begins.

Questions are currently being accepted.
