Our state rep. contacted the NFHS regarding this scenario a few years back. The ruling was (I don't have my manuals with me for reference) that the snap begins when the center begins movement of the ball and ends when he releases it. It is encroachment for any player to be in the NZ "prior" to the snap.
We were told if any defensive player slaps the ball away while it is being snapped an encroachment penalty is to be called on B.
