If Team A wants that kind of result they should be forced to punt, not attempt a scoring kick. As pointed out, my ruling is for NCAA (which is also HS in Tex and Mass.).
Guess this explains why Leon tried to play the ball. He thought he was back at Hairhope High in Alabama.

No kidding at all, TXMike. All scrimmage kicks (punts and field goals) are treated the same except that a drop kick or place kick put through the uprights will score 3 points.

Back in the dark ages, playing NAIA rules that were very
similar to today's NFHS rules, we even practiced having our
FG kicker putting it out of bounds inside of the 10. He was more accurate than our punter!
Even used it a couple of times in actual games.... strange but true.
