From what I am reading in the original post, there is nothing indicating that this is, in fact, an illegal substitute. Remember, according to NFHS, an illegal sub is a person who has entered or has re-entered the game without eligibility to do so.
From what I am reading, this is simply a case of unreported substitution, though from subsequent posts even that has been brought into doubt. However, assuming an unreported sub, the only penalty that NFHS allows for a first infraction is a team warning. That's it! Nothing more. The player is then entered onto the lineup card and is legal. The next offense and all subsequent offenses by that team result in the offending player being restricted to the dugout. NFHS Rule 3:6:12:Penalty.
