Kickoff totals - averaging by net, not gross...

High school rules, kicker kicks off from the 40. Has six touchbacks and one kick for 59 yards. His total should be 419 yards with an average of 59.85.
On season totals. his net average and his total average are the same - 42.71 and his total yards are 299.
He should not be penalized 20 yards on his kicks just because they are touchbacks. That does not officially count against him statistically. Can you all fix this error? Thanks.
By rule, kicks into the endzone in high school are not returnable. Therefore, the kicker should get an actual yardage of 60 (or distance from the spot of the kick to the endzone) no matter where the ball lands in the endzone.
