In a highschool game I witnessed a mistake was made on the number of team fouls. Foul shots were awarded and one point was scored.

Is this the correct call? Thanks for the help.

The concept is called "Correctable Errors" and should be known to all officials. There are circumstances where errors (like these) are deemed to be able to be corrected and limited to a certain period of time in the game.
After the described period of time - errors are no longer correctable and play continues.
