I have a situation I need help with, NFHS rules.
Case: A 1/10 from the B-30. A-1 takes the snap and rolls out to pass. During his roll out, and B lineman facemasks an A lineman. A-1 then completes a pass to A-88 at the B-10 who runs the ball in for a TD.
I contend that A has to decline the B penalty since it did not occur on the scoring play, but occurred on the loose ball play that preceded the running play which actually scored.
Thoughts?

Sorry my brother in strips but you contends wrong
. Now if this were last year your contention would be right, but for the wrong reason.
Look in the new NFHS rulebook under 8-2-2. It says ..."If during a touchdown-scoring play, a foul by the opponents of the scoring team occurs, the scoring team may accept the results of the play and have the penalty enforced from the succeeding spot".
What I think you are doing here is confusing the "scoring play" witch encompasses the whole play with the loose ball play and running play that happened during the entire play. Did I say that right? LOL
