I am not a football official, but to me this seems like another example of the wording of the NFHS rulebooks being confusing as heck.
We had a softball debate at a clinic a couple years ago. I don't recall the exact situation, but it involved a batter being hit with a batted ball and what the status of the ball and play was. The rules covering the batter actually contradict themselves, but the deciding factor is the definition of a foul ball.
If in doubt, go with the definition in the NFHS book.
