If a penalty is accepted for a foul that occurred during a down in which time ran out (That's what happened to you), the quarter is extended for an untimed down.

So, in your case the offense would replay from the nine yard line. If they do not score on the untimed down, the game is over. If they score a TD, the score would be tied and there would be a try for point.

Under high school rules, the foul would have been offensive pass interference, which is 15 yards and loss of down. 4th down and goal from the 19. The down *seems* moot because it is an untimed down to extend the quarter, but if the same thing happened again, the ball would be turned over to the defense on downs.
