NFHS 4-25: A held ball occurs when: Opponents have their hands so firmly on the ball that control cannot be obtained without undue roughness.
Without actually seeing it, I'm sticking with B1 out of bounds. Team A ball on the endline.

Same here. The element missing in the OP for a held ball - without seeing a play, of course - is the "without undue roughness" part. It sounds as though both go up, both grab the ball and both come down without getting into some mid-air wrestling match. In that case just go with the OOB.
The horizontal version would be A1 & B1 diving for a ball on the floor near the endline/sideline and as both grab it at the same time A1 has a body part OOB. The ball is OOB off A1.
