Help me out. Varsity High School game. Team A punts the ball. Team B does not get near the ball as it bounces toward Team B's goal line. A player from Team A chases down the ball slides his feet into the endzone as the ball is rolling to the 1 yard line. As the ball is comming to a stop, the player who's feet and butt are in the enzone falls on the ball which is still on the 1 yard line. Isn't this a touchback, ball 1st and 10 on the 20 yard line?

It is in the NFL, where the player's position is relevant.
In NFHS rules, it is simply a good play. 1-10 from the 1. I remember to pregame this with my BJ and LJ every week.
