No. CRs are not substitutions, and re-entry is not an issue.

My understanding of the NFHS rule is the substitute is not entered until he takes his place and the ball is live. Therefore, he would be allowed to come back in and run. Is this correct? I noticed 3-1-1 contains some language about "should there be no announcement of substitutions..." the substitute has entered the game when ball is live and he takes his place. Does this mean announcement by PU to the scorekeeper? The rule does not seem to explain this. Thanks.

No, it refers to announcing it to the other team.
