Controversial Rule Bans 11-Year-Old From Scoring TDs

Demias Jimerson, an 11-year-old running back for Wilson Intermediate School in Malvern, Ark., "scores almost every time he touches the ball," according to Terri Bryant, the school's principal. In fact, in one game, the sixth-grader scored seven touchdowns for his undefeated team.

That's why the Wilson Intermediate Football League has invoked the Madre Hill Rule - named after the former Arkansas Razorbacks and Oakland Raiders running back. Once Hill, who also attended Wilson Intermediate School, scored three touchdowns, and if his team had at least a 14-point lead, officials banned him from scoring any more touchdowns.
