What is the average high school football punt?

But HS kickers kicking the ball 40-50 yards total which means only 25-35 yard net punt is very normal and average. A lot of it has to do with the complete lack of coaching punters. Averaging 40 yards is more about practice than ability, I punted in HS and averaged just under 40 yards.
