catch and possession

NFHS

Receiver A2 has a ball thrown to him in the end zone. It goes partially through his hands and lodges between his legs in his crotch area. The defender makes contact and the ball is dislodged. I ruled incomplete, however I would note that there was about a second of time (which seemed like an eternity) where I could not tell the actual location of the ball other than to say it wasn't on the ground or in the air and not clearly in the receivers hands.

Can you catch and possess a football between your legs, or must you possess it with your hands? If so this play was probably a TD. Rulebook 2-4 ands 2-34 don't seem to address my situation.
