In regards to the play mentioned, as you describe it, I would call the runner out. In regards to the NFHS rule book, rule 8-4-2b states that any runner is out when he does not legally slide and causes illegal contact and/or illegally alters the actions of a fielder in the immediate act of making a play. I reference back to legal slide, rule 2-32-2, citing an illegal slide as: d) the runner slashes or kicks the fielder with either leg (which is a judgment but I believe there was intent there) and most importantly b) the runner's raised leg is higher than the fielder's knee when the fielder is standing

The mitt was about a foot off the ground, and in between his widespread legs. I am sure that R3 was trying for the mitt, because the coach told me after the game that he trained his better 2 or 3 players to slide into the mitt hard or kick it during the slide, to knock the ball loose. He could be BS'ing me, but I have known him for about 10 years, so I doubt it.
