REPLY: Not sure what state you're from, but if it's either Massachusetts or Texas, then even HS uses the NCAA rule book where the rule is different. In NCAA rules, a forward pass is determined by the point where the ball first strikes the ground, a player, an official or anything beyond the spot of the pass. All other passes are backward passes. When in question, it is a forward pass rather than a backward pass when thrown in or behind the neutral zone. Even though this "when in question" statement comes directly from the NCAA rule book, it shopuld be applied to Federation ball as well.
