The NFL has this 5-yard chuck rule but at the Fed level they can do that all the way down the field up until the A player occupies the same yardline (or beyond) or is moving away from B.

B1 hits A1 from the front. And not the bump-and-run type hit where you just shiver the guy. I mean a full blown hit in an effort to prevent the receiver from running his route 10-15 yards downfield. I know NFHS does not have the 5-yard rule, but as I read 9.2.3d at that point it is obvious that A1 is no longer a potential blocker--he's running a route.
