This is a throw in violation, so it would go back to where the ball was originally thrown in.
Good try though

This came up in one of associations meetings. You penalize it where the violation occurred. The violation was where the player touched the ball. Spot throw-in. If the throw in was not touched by any player before going out of bounds at the opposite endline, then you bring it back to the spot where the ball was inbounded.

This exact play is covered in this year's interps. See nfhs.org
