2001 NFHS Rules
You are correct. There is nothing in rule 8.5.1, nor 2.10.1, which would prevent the coach from using a courtesy runner in your scenario. Now the sticky problem occurs when the team takes the field and the substitute does not go in to pitch.
Apparently, this has not happened in Fed yet or coaches would be screaming for an ammendment to the rule.
