Got a high school football rule question?

[tnsparty]

Kicking team punts the ball and the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage. A receiving team member attempts to field the punt and touches it and the kicking team recovers and does not advance to the line to gain. The kick was not blocked. Whose ball is it?

high school football when a ball is punted and the ball is rolling on ground and touches a receiving player and recovered by the punting team is it a recovered fumble Illinois high school game.

Not sure what you’re asking.

Is a dead ball personal foul an automatic first down?

No, it’s not. Only roughing fouls are automatic first downs.

Rule 5-1-4 applies: "Unless first touched by R beyond the neutral zone, if the kickers recover a scrimmage kick in or behind the neutral zone, the ball remains live and belongs to K and the down counts." Thus, if it was fourth down, the receiving team takes over on downs; if not, the kicking team keeps the ball, next down.

Recieving team keeps the ball, doesn't matter if the ball is blocked or not. If a member on the receiving touches the ball before the 1st down marker, they keep it whether if the kicking teams lands on it or not. Now, if a member on the receiving  possessed the ball and then fumbles it and the kicking team falls on it, it is K ball because the ball was already possessed.

If the receiving team touches the ball past the first down marker and the kicking team falls on it, the kicking team gets the ball where it is possessed.

Have a question about a touchback on a kick-off. 

Actual scenario that took place in a game I watched.

The kicker kicked the ball and the receiving team caught the ball with his feet in the endzone. The receiving team advanced the ball and was downed at the 35 yard line.

The referee explained to the HC that A.) Yes the receiving team was standing in the endzone but. B.) The receiving team was leaning forward and caught the ball while standing in the endzone but that the ball itself never broke the plane so therefore it is not a touchback.

 

Is that the correct ruling on the field?

How can an illegal pass be ruled a fumble after it bounces off the receivers hands? Would it have not been an incomplete pass? Running back was trying to get all he could but his lateral was forward (about 3yards), bounced off the guys hands and hit the ground. Defense fell on the ball and here comes the yellow. They said it was for a illegal pass and it was declined. Riverdale ball. CC was 1 and 10 before this play. Would it have not been a 10yard penalty repeat 1st down???

On a xtra point or FG if it's a bad snap and the holder is already on the ground how is it possible for him to get up and run or pass,?

He can run, but if he passes, then his leg(s) must be off the ground.

yes, ball has to break the plane of the goal line

should have been a 5 yard penalty from the spot of the illegal pass and a loss of down.  Then, depending on where the ball was after the mark-off, its 1st or 2nd down for the offense.

The QB had already made a long run (20+ yards), he flipped it forward to a receiver but if was forward about 3 yards. I understood the penalty, but didn't understand how it could be a fumble if it was a illegal forward pass. Oh well water under the bridge now, don't think it would have changed the score much.
