REPLY: foolhearted...not sure where you're from. In TX and Mass., they play HS football under NCAA rules. In NCAA rules, defensive holding against an eligible receiver on a play where a forward pass crosses the neutral zone will result in an automatic first down if the penalty is accepted.
However, if you're talking about the other 48 states, what the folks have told you is correct...no automatic first down.
