Using Fed rules, 9th grade game:
3rd and 8 at midfield.
Pass is intercepted by B1 on B's 40-yard line.
During the return, B2 holds A3 at B's 45 yard line.
A4 commits a 15-yard facemask foul on the runner (B2) at A's 30 yard line.
How do you enforce the penalties?
For bonus points, how is this enforced in NCAA?

NFHS answer:
This is not a trick question, just complicated and no one in the stands or side lines know the rule.
Both penalties are post change of possesion. Therefore, you go to team B with the first penalty. If they accept the facemask, the penalty will be double foul and replay the down. If they decline the penalty, they will retain possesion of the ball. Now you go to team B. They will most likely accept holding penalty, 10 yards from the spot of the foul.
1st and 10, B ball on their own 35. Both coaches have confused looks on their face. The fans are screaming lots of stupid stuff.
No bean bag needed in NFHS
