JV game - NFHS rules.
A is lined up in scrimmage kick formation for a try. The snap is fumbled and the holder picks up the ball and takes off around the left end. He is nearing the sideline when he takes aim at the goal line pylon and goes airborne. He is completely airborne and directly above the sideline when he holds the ball out and contacts the pylon. The pylon is knocked back towards the back of the end zone as the runner contacts the ground out of bounds. At the time the runner contacted the ground the ball was clearly beyond the plane of the goal line (extended) and clearly out of bounds.
Successful try ... or not?
