Punt Play

K punts the ball to the one yard line where K1 recovers and slides into the end zone. The Back Judge marked the ball on the one and told the head coach it's a momentum rule. I have looked at the rule book and have decided that he is correct on the call, but his reasoning is wrong. From the rule on ball becoming dead on a punt - the ball is dead as soon as K recovers, it has nothing to do with momentum. In college this would be a touchback and I wish it would be changed for NFHS ruling.
The ball broke the goal line plane of the Receivers on the slide I believe the position of the result of the slide and the ball still moving towards the goal line it should be ruled a touch back, not downed because of control - K1 may have possessed the ball before the goal line but he slid through the end line.


Give me what you think about this play. Thank you.
