Stinterup - For clarification, The word "high" does not appear anywhere in the rule.
In the OP, the kicker intentionally kicked the ball from the tee immediately into the ground.
In my interpretation, this act is a Free kick infraction and the act causes the ball to remain dead.
What the dead ball does after the illegal act, is of no consequence since it is merely action during a dead ball.
5-yard penalty, re-kick.
However, that being said, and, after reading some of your posts, it is abundantly apparent, not all are going to interpret this play the same way. So....
Only your individual state SRI knows for sure! And, it is likely he/she may wait until after the July NFHS Rules Interpreter meeting before making a definitive interpretation of this one.
My 2 cents!
The word "high" may have several meanings varying per your location. We Mainers find several uses such as :
(1) "Ayuh, that there Mt. Katahdin is sure HIGH."
(2) With pot now being legal in Maine, " Ayuh, 'spect Bubba and the prom queen are out behind the chicken coop a' gittin' HIGH".
(3) "Don't ya' give me no 'HIGH-five', I'm still a 'hand-shaker' ".
In your part of the country there may be other uses of the word HIGH. Regarding #2, the last time I smoked pot was at one of them there peace rallies and we were all chanting "HEY,HEY,HO,HO, LBJ's gotta' go". A habit I don't need to pick up, Mt. K is high but there are plenty higher, I happily give a high-five. The only HIGH I now worry about is in measuring an illegal pop-up kick. I'm 5'7" anything above that is HIGH.
While my Oregonian friend, KWH, offers 2 cents; I offer a dime...inflation
