Six loose balls may be legally batted. Name them.

REPLY: I'll try...

Fumble in flight
Low Scrimmage kick in flight in or behind the NZ
Scrimmage kick in flight beyond the NZ if no receiver in vicinity
Pass in flight (except backward pass batted forward by passing team)
grounded scrimmage kick by K toward his own goal line
???

Can't think of the sixth...

A ball in player possession may be batted backward by a player of the team in possession.
Reference: NFHS 9-7-4

REPLY: Agreed Kevin...I'd forgotten that. But he did say that "Six loose balls may be legally batted" We still don't have the sixth one!

You got me there Bob, but I can't tell you the sixth loose ball situation.

kdf5, I think we give up...

I have been racking my brain, and unless it is a grounded free kick which has traveled 10 yards, batted by K, or what KWH discribed above, so far you are doing a great job of stumping these chumps. kdf5, I think the onus is now on you.

Here are my answers. Bob M. combined two of my answers. I think you had them all as far as I can see, just a matter of how some are looked at:

* A fumble in flight.
* A backward pass in flight, but NOT forward by the passing team.
* A forward pass, but ONLY by players eligible to touch it.
* A low scrimmage kick which R is trying to block in or behind the expanded neutral zone.
* A scrimmage kick in flight beyond the NZ which K may bat in any direction provided there is no R player in position to catch.
* A grounded scrimmage kick beyond the NZ which K may bat backwards ONLY, towards his OWN goal line.
