In the table for Rule 8-1 "Point Values" it says that when a team tries for the point(s) after a TD that the touchdown (2 point play) is worth 2 points, and a field goal or safety is worth 1 point. Field goal is kicking the EP, but how would a 1 point safety be awarded. I've seen 1 point safety in multiple college games, but I thought it was impossible in high school since a ball is dead in the end zone when the defense obtains possession through an interception or recovery of a ball fumbled into the end zone?
