When Interference with a FC (or awarded FC) is called. The offended team has several options (NFHS: 6-5-4, one of which is to choose to begin play with a snap, or Free Kick, and that option/choice continues if a foul occurs during the chosen down and that down is replayed following enforcement of the initial choice penalty.")

In your scenario, Team R could choose to put the ball in play 15 yards in advance of the KCI spot, then as Team A advance another 15 yards as a result of the PI foul, and still retain the option to put the ball in play by a snap or Free Kick.

NFHS 8-4-1a advises, "the Field-Goal attempt shall be a place kick or a drop kick from scrimmage or from, a free-kick following a Fair Catch or awarded Fair Fair catch. .

"A", formerly "R"s options include putting the ball in play 30 yards in advance of the initial Kick Interference call (followed by a "B" PI foul) by either a snap, 1st and 10 or attempting a Field Goal from their Free Kick line at that spot.
