In NFHS these fouls would not offset. The penalties are enforced in the order of occurrence. The penalty for Team B's foul would be enforced first, giving Team A a first down since they reached the line to gain with Team B's penalty. Next the penalty for Team A's foul would be enforced, backing up Team A back to the 50. The chains would be reset and it'd be 1st and 10 for A at the 50.

In NCAA these fouls would offset and the down counts. 3rd and 8 for A at the 50.

In either case, both players are disqualified.
