Weird Play During High School Game Tonight

Can someone tell me if this is legal? Punter kicks the ball into the back of his teamate. The ball goes straight up into the air and the punter catches it. He starts running and then throws the ball incomplete. Can you punt the ball then throw a forward pass on the same play?

IDK about your situation, but we had a first at our game tonight. Punter kicked the ball, really short, lots of backspin, strong north wind, ball rolls backwards through their endzone. Safety. Wild.

Team A’s untouched punt or field goal attempt goes beyond the neutral
zone in flight, is blown back by the wind and first touches the ground, a
player or an official behind the neutral zone. RULING: By rule, he kick
is not considered to have crossed the neutral zone until it has touched
the ground, a player, an official or anything beyond that zone. Any
scrimmage kick may be advanced after catch or recovery by Team B, or
after catch or recovery by Team A in or behind the neutral zone if the
kick had not crossed the neutral zone (Rule 2-15-7).

Are you talking about the UHigh game?

No.
Disagree. What part of this play makes this an illegal forward pass?
quote:
Illegal Forward Pass
ARTICLE 2. A forward pass is illegal if:
a. It is thrown by a Team A player whose entire body is beyond the neutral
zone when he releases the ball.
b. It is thrown by a Team B player.
c. It is thrown after team possession has changed during the down.
d. It is the second forward pass during the same down.
Rule 7 / Snapping and Passing the Ball FR-73
e. The passer to conserve time throws the ball directly to the ground (1)
after the ball has already touched the ground; or (2) not immediately after
controlling the ball.
f. The passer to conserve time throws the ball forward into an area where there
is no eligible Team A receiver (A.R. 7-3-2-II-VII).
g. It is thrown from in or behind the neutral zone after a ball carrier has gone
beyond the neutral zone.
PENALTY [a-g]—Five yards from the spot of the foul; also loss of down if
by Team A before team possession changes during a scrimmage
down (A.R. 3-4-3-IV and A.R. 7-3-2-II) [S35 and S9].
h. The passer to conserve yardage throws the ball forward into an area where
there is no eligible Team A receiver (A.R. 7-3-2-I).

No, Country Day vs Ridgewood.
I have seen similar situations where the punting team tried to advance the ball by running, but I have never seen a pass in that situation.

I thought it was live as long as it didn't pass the line of scrimmage. as far as the pass, I've only heard no 2 forward passes on the same play.
