The ball may be "uncatchable" but again, the NFHS rules don't recognize that.
Having said that, I wasn't there to see the play, so ...

I just realized in reading it, that I was a little confusing on the one point. The pass was definitely catchable for the intended receiver - it was not likely catchable for the defender. I doubt, based on your reply, that this really changes anything, but thanks for the info. I feel better now. It was directly in front of me, about 10 yards away, fyi.
