I can also see an official charging this as a flagrant personal foul (violent or savage nature). I personally wouldn't go that route, but I wouldn't have a major problem with an official that decided to go that way.

I could see it too, but that does not mean I will agree with them.

The foul is deliberate and designed to prevent an easy basket (dunk or lay-up) by an opposing player, so under NFHS rules that falls under the "negating an opponent's obvious advantageous position." That is why I would charge an intentional personal foul in a HS game.
