Is this legal in NFHS?

Yep...

Provided the kick did was caught behind the NZ, the player could have passed it forward or even kicked it again.

Sorry Maven....

You beat me to the punch

Honestly, this play should have been ended at the moment of the catch - he was beyond the NZ, and HL should have caught that.

I don't think so, myself. LOS was the 40, he caught it at the 40. Unless he's clearly illegal, he's legal, IMO.

His first touch might have been at the forty, but possession was gained at the 41, IMO.

Were that the case, he'd be legal.

I just don't think that's the case. Looking at the LOS (and the stick), and then looking at where he gets the ball, I think he's ahead of that line.

I do admit it's not a perfect angle.

Is there a distinction in NCAA (or even NFHS) between first touching and second, third, etc?

The kick doesn't end until possessed by either team or the ball otherwise becomes dead. If A touches a kick (and adds a new force) behind the LOS then gains possession of the ball beyond the LOS, would the ball not be dead and be B's ball at the point possession was gained?
