football goes across the goal line.

does the play become dead everytime the ball crosses the goal line. I konw it does when it is kicked. Are there any situations when it doesn't become dead?????

In NFHS, the only times I can think of off the top of my head that the ball becomes dead when it breaks the plane of the goal line is when a free, or scrimmage kick breaks the plane of R's goal line, or when the ball is in possession of a player and breaks the plane of his opponents goal line. Other than that, the ball stays live.
