A punt is a scrimmage kick. It can be kick catch interference but only if there's a receiver that is in position to catch the ball. AS12 can give you the official wording.
Who determines the number of officials for the playoffs for weeks 11 thru 13?
A week ago we hosted a regional semi-final that used 6 officials. Yesterday we hosted a regional final that used 5 officials. Seemed kind of strange to use 6, then 5, instead of the other way around.
It is always Kick Catch Interference if a player from K touches or possesses a free kick that has not been grounded.
Thank you. Crowd was pretty upset and I thought to ask here before forming an opinion. Sounds like the crew made the correct call.
To add...Intentional short kick on the kickoff. Ball goes high in the air and is recovered by the kicking team 20yds down field. The return team doesn't have a player near the ball, but a flag is thrown for interference. There was no obvious fair catch sign made. Just curious on the explanation.
There was a 15yd penalty issued on the kickoff.
The kicking team kicks the ball out of bounds, so does the return team get the ball from the 35 or the 20 because of the 15yd infraction?
The return team, which was the defenders who caused the penalty on the extra point, got penalized 15yds on the ensuing kick off.

Watched the Pick v Davidson game last weekend, last two minutes onside kick - sure looked like the kicking team was blocking the receiving team prior to the ball going 10 yards - isn't that a NFHS rule these days?

Question: Can a flag be thrown for Defensive Holding and the offense later in the play be called for Offensive pass interference? The Game had a situation like that but it was only called on the defense.
The OSU guy did hold him but when the ball got there the WR held his arm so he couldn't catch it.
What actually is involved in calling a 'pick' play by the offense as offensive interference?
More and more this rule has vanished at almost every level of football
Batting by definition is an intentional act.When OSU botched the kickoff catch against TTUN, if an OSU player had batted the ball out of bounds what would have been the penalty (if any) and what would it have been under NFHS rules?
What is the rule on a Qb throwing a pass beyond the line of scrimmage? Does his whole body have to be passed the line?
“Hurdling is an attempt by a player to jump (hurdle) with one or both feet or knees foremost over an opponent who is contacting the ground with no part of his body except one or both feet.”I’m under the impression that hurdling a defender as a runner is illegal in high school football.
I’ve seen it happen multiple times, including today’s Division III title game, and never called.
Is it illegal?
If it is illegal, why is it never or rarely flagged? Lack of knowledge? Not wanting to toss the flag on what is usually a “WOW” play?
Yes. The ball is dead when any part of the runner's body other than the hand or foot touches the ground.Watching the replay of the OSU-Northwestern game where the Northwestern receiver fumbled after being stripped, and the fumble was overturned - I believe the replay official ruled the receiver's shin above the ankle was down before he lost the ball, even though his knee never touched the ground.
Is this the same for NFHS? For years I've had the idea that ground contact had to be with the knee joint on up (or the elbow joint on up) that determined if a runner was down, but it wouldn't be the first time my bubble's been busted. Thanks in advance.
