The last paragraph on page 63 of the NFHS rulebook says:
...In cases of screens outside the visual field, the opponent may make inadvertent contact with the screener and if the opponent is running rapidly, the contact may be severe. Such a case is to be ruled as incidental contact provided the opponent stops or attempts to stop on contact and moves around the screen, and provided the screener is not displaced if he/she has the ball....

As long as they don't push through with the arms or do anything else, I would most likely have a "no call". This exact situation happened in a game I was watching this year and RevRef's partner called a foul on B. I tried to bring it up at halftime and suggest a no-call, she thought I was out of my mind because it was a big collision.
