NFHS rules, 4 down and 15 from the (about) 25. Too far for a field goal, too short to punt, deep throw to the 5, some one throws a flag for Offensive Pass Interference -- not the official covering the catch (Side judge?). The ruling on the play: 15 yards from the LOS, loss of down, ball turns over to B near mid-field. My question, Offensive Pass Interference is a loss of down penalty?

Thanks
