NFHS:
Illegal batting. 9-7-2 makes no exception for R batting the ball in either direction.
"No player shall bat a loose ball other than a pass or a fumble in
flight, or a low scrimmage kick in flight which he is attempting to block in or
behind the expanded neutral zone.
EXCEPTION: A K player may bat toward his own goal line a grounded scrimmage kick
which is beyond the neutral zone and may also bat toward his own goal line a scrimmage
kick in flight beyond the neutral zone, if no R player is in position to catch the ball."
Clock should run after R touches the ball. K will have the option to take the result of the play or 15 yards from the previous spot and rekick.
