this has nothing to do with any game, just a question.....extra point try..holder is on one knee, kick is good...why is extra point, ruled good when knee is down? same as center to punter...low snap, punter goes to one knee..to kick ,... ball downed there...????

please define....saw a game earlier this year, after td...extra point try was a fake for two....holder was ruled down, at spot...

 

He must have lifted and then put his knee back down.

NFHS Rule 4-2-2 (dead ball)...

 

. . . The ball becomes dead and the down is ended:

 

a. When a runner goes out of bounds, is held so his forward progress is stopped or allows any part of his person other than hand or foot to touch the ground.

 

EXCEPTION: The ball remains live if, at the snap, a place-kick holder with his knee(s) on the ground and with a teammate in kicking position:

 

1. Catches or recovers the snap while his knee(s) is on the ground and places the ball for a kick, or if he rises to advance, hand, kick or pass.

 

2. Rises and catches an errant snap and immediately returns his knee(s) to the ground and places the ball for a kick or again rises to advance, hand, kick or pass.

 

NOTE: The ball becomes dead if the place-kick holder muffs the snap or fumbles and recovers after his knees have been off the ground, and he then touches the ground with other than hand or foot while in possession of the ball.

The "NOTE" is what I was referring to as lifting and putting knee back down...I knew he could do option #2...
