In high school if you kick a field goal it acts as a punt. The ball would have been a touchback had it reached the end zone, the return man can return it, or the kicking team can down it wherever it lies after the failed attempt

There is not a lot of risk in kicking one if you know your kicker can hit the end zone

This is why denham would kick it everytime they crossed the 50 when they had josh Lewis a few years back. He missed some 63 yarders that year but they just resulted in touchbacks
