The same play under NFHS the ball is dead. The holder could keep it alive by rising.

And I had it twice this year, once in a varsity game. I blew it dead as the white hat and had to go to the sidelines to explain the difference (essentially). And the coach didn't believe me and then went out and probably rated me very low for my "lack of knowledge of the rules." A broken system if there ever was one.
