Another thing I just realized that the quarters are only 12 minutes long. Is that the rule in Ohio high schools or is that universal throughout the US of A?

It's pretty much 12 minutes across the country, with a couple of exceptions.

Two states, Texas[1][2] and Massachusetts,[3] use NCAA playing rules except as shown below.

With their common ancestry, the NFHS rules of high school football are largely similar to the college game, though with some important differences:

  • The four quarters are each 12 minutes in length, as opposed to 15 minutes in all other forms of the game. (Texas uses the NFHS 12-minute quarter; Massachusetts uses 11-minute quarters except in playoffs, where they are 10 minutes because of the possibility of playing three games in 10 days.)

Danny Clark's full story
By Ari Wasserman, Northeast Ohio Media Group
on September 09, 2013

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Danny Clark entered the game at quarterback in the second half of Massillon (Ohio) Washington’s season opening win over Perry on Aug. 30, the first time he ever walked onto the field as a high school football player.

Given Clark, a freshman, was about to take snaps for one of the more storied programs in Ohio high school football, he could have been overwhelmed by the moment. Instead, he threw a 59-yard touchdown pass on his first career attempt.

The following week, Clark got his first career start for the Tigers against Canton GlenOak. Backed by a strong performance by Clark – he threw three touchdowns, but also had two interceptions – the Tigers beat GlenOak to advanced to 2-0.

Two days later, Clark made the trip to watch Ohio State’s 42-7 win over San Diego State on Saturday for his first visit to Ohio Stadium as a recruit. There he was met with some harsh, yet inspiring advice from Buckeyes defensive line coach Mike Vrabel.

“Coach Vrabel talked to me about staying grounded and he said something that really stuck to me,” Clark told Cleveland.com in a phone interview Sunday. “He said, ‘If you don’t get better from the way you played last time, you’re not going to play anywhere.’ He was just telling me to keep getting better, progressing and keeping my nose to the grind.”
