As concerns the NFHS world, there is only the fumble. Perhaps 'muff' is creole for fumble.
The term "muff" is used in the casebook play that I gave above. The NFHS also uses it in another casebook play- 4.43.SitA- "A1 attempts to catch the ball while running rapidly. A1 muffs the ball, but succeeds in securing it before it strikes the floor".

Looks like "muff" and "fumble" may be interchangeable in the NFHS world.
