Does this technical still get addressed to him even though he has commited the alloted five fouls already?
Yes, the technical foul is still charged to A1 despite the fact that he has already committed five personal fouls which warrants disqualification.
So now he has six fouls--no big deal.

You seem to be under the mistaken notion that there is a limit to the number of fouls an individual can be assessed in an NFHS game. The truth is that there is no specific allotment.
There are simply different ways in which a person can earn a disqualification through a combination of personal and technical fouls.

If an individual "fouls out" through committing personal fouls, and then misbehaves he can certainly still be charged with technical fouls. (It would take a mistake in game administration, but he could even be charged with six personal fouls if he were mistakenly allowed to continue to participate and fouled again.)
