B intercepts A in the endzone and than runs it out and at the 5 yard line he is hit by A and fumbles and ball rolls out the back of the endzone. What is the ruling? Touchback for B or safety for A?
PLay2:
A misses a field goal and it lands short on the 5 yard line and becomes dead there at the 5 yard line, no one goes out to get it so refs blow it dead. Where is the ball marked for B, previous line of scrimmage? Or at the 5 yard line?
THese are both High School situations
THanks in advance......

Assuming you aren't playing in Texas or Massachusetts, here are your rulings. (The other 48 states use NFHS rules)
In play 1, once B brought the ball out of the endzone, the momentum exception no longer applies. They are responsible for the fumble that put the ball back into their own endzone. Team A scores a safety.
In play 2, field goals are treated just like punts if they aren't successful. How would you treat a punt that come to rest at the 5 yard line?
The answer is that the ball would belong to B (or R) at their own 5 yard line.
