NFHS (GHSA). 1st and goal from just inside B's 10. Quarterback scrambles 15 yards behind LOS to B's 25 and runs out of bounds. He is a couple steps out and is shoved by a defender. Flag comes followed by a 15 yard stepoff to the 10. It is now 2nd down, correct?

The visiting team's radio guy (not me, my team was off this week) was screaming that it was an automatic first down since it was a personal foul. I have seen 15 yard facemasks before that wasn't an automatic first down so I tell him during the next commercial break that it is not an automatic first. He said I was wrong. He came back from break and repeated his team was robbed of a first down every chance he got that drive. Was I wrong?
