I actually saw that once on a free kick
and not an on-sides (kick off) !!
Ball comes down in my area (I'm U), I'm
waiting for a receiver to pick up the ball.
They must have been thinking punt for
some reason ! A member of the kicking team
finally falls on the ball. I signal in their
direction--- it's their ball !!
Had a similar situation on an on-side
kick, where as U I was up on the 50 yard
line. The ball comes dribbling down into
my zone-- both teams sort of froze and
it was a few seconds before the receiving team
woke up and fell on the ball !! Strange things
happen in high school games.
Just remember, there are 2 parts to
that--- 10 yards AND hit the ground !
