After a touchdown penalties

[hornetfan8]

After a touchdown, a player got a personal foul and it was enforced  on the try after. Should it not have enforced on the kickoff?

Unless NFHS rules have changed over the past several years on this, they have the option of enforcing it on the try or the kickoff.

Here is the way the rule reads
Rule 8-2
ART. 2 . . . If an opponent of the scoring team commits a foul (other than
unsportsmanlike conduct or a nonplayer foul) during a down in which a
touchdown is scored and there was not a change in possession during the
down, A may accept the results of the play and choose enforcement of the
penalty:
a. On the try, or
b. On the subsequent kickoff.

ART. 3 . . . If an opponent of the scoring team commits a foul (other than
unsportsmanslike conduct or a nonplayer foul) during a down in which a
touchdown is scored and there was a change of possession during the
down, and such foul occurs after the change of possession, the scoring
team may accept the results of the play and choose enforcement of the
penalty:
a. On the try, or
b. On the subsequent kickoff.

ART. 4 . . . If either team commits an unsportsmanlike conduct or a
nonplayer foul during a down in which a touchdown is scored, the
opponent may accept the results of the play and choose enforcement of
the penalty:
a. On the try, or
b. On the subsequent kickoff.

ART. 5 . . . If after a down in which a touchdown is scored, and prior to
the initial ready-for-play signal for the try, either team commits any foul
for which the basic spot is the succeeding spot, the offended team may
accept the penalty and choose enforcement of the penalty:
a. On the try, or
b. On the subsequent kickoff

It happened after the touchdown and before the try. We all assumed it should of been enforced on the kick. Thanks for the clarification
