Just as the huddle breaks player B sprints toward the sideline appearing to leave the field but then sets up as a wide receiver.

Yes, NFHS Rule 9-6-4c makes your play illegal!
It is illegal participation:
To use a player, replaced player or substitute in a substitution or pretend substitution to deceive opponents at or immediatly before the snap or free kick.
Illegal Participation 15 yards
That rule pretty much covers all aspects of your play and others like it...

If that is the only rule I am not sure I agree with your call. How about if there is a enough time before the snap so it is not at or immediately before?
