Thanks for the responses.
An attempted kick is definitely considered the same as an attempted punch under NFHS rules and warrants a flagrant technical foul.

An attempted trip may not rise to that level in your opinion and that is reasonable, which is why I gave the second option of an unsporting technical foul in an earlier post in this thread.
