"According to NFHS 9.5.1(c) it does. "Block - the action of a player(s) close to the net that deflects the ball coming from the opponent by reaching higher than the top of the net at the moment of contact..."

This rule does not state that the ball is higher than the net. It does qualify the note that the blocker must be reaching above the net. This is the NFHS definition. In the other rule sets: a blocker is defined as being near the net with some part of their body above the net plane.
