Unless you were playing under NCAA rules, the clock should have been started.
An almost identical play is covered in this years Football Rules Differences manual, rule 3:7 play #1
the basics for NFHS are that "a new series is not awarded to team B until all acts that occurred during the down, including penalties other than nonplayer or unsportsmanlike, are considered".
In this play, the penalty negates team B from being awarded a 1st down. Team A continues, clock on ready.
Under NCAA, the clock would start on the snap.
