Weird situation in Winnfield vs Many. Winnfield could not stop Many's punt returner. So instead of punting, they lined up in FG formation and kicked a field goal "attempt." The applicable rule is as follows:
They did it several times. Once it was blocked but the rest of the time it stopped the long punt returns. I don't know why they didn't just punt it out of bounds.

Under NFHS (high school) rules (except Texas, which plays largely by NCAA rules), a field goal attempt is no different from any other scrimmage kick (punt, drop kick). If the field goal attempt is no good and enters the end zone it is a touchback (NFHS rules do not allow a scrimmage kick or free kick to be advanced if it crosses the goal line). If the ball becomes dead on the field the defensive team will next put the ball in play from that point. If a field goal is blocked behind the line of scrimmage either team may pick it up and return it.

Reading this all I can think about is how Auburn beat Bama a few years ago

West Monroe didn’t have a punter one year, but had a good kicker. Lined up in FG formation all year long. As long as it doesn’t cross the goal line, it’s just like a punt.
