control of the ball gets his/her head and shoulders past the defensive player.
The part I highlighted should cover it.

Compare that to the NCAA-M rule 9-15-3. There is no similar provision in NFHS.

Art. 3. After the start of a five-second closely guarded count, in order for a
closely guarded violation to occur, there shall be continuous guarding by the same opponent.
