completion w/ def. pass interference

fortunately this was only a pre-game discussion, but we did not come to a clear resolution in my mind.

In NFHS, if there is defensive pass interference with a completed pass, does the offense have the choice of taking the result of the play or 15 yards from the previous spot?This is the way I believe it should be.

Or is it that the penalty is enforced from the end of the run after the catch. I find nothing that supports this, but was told it was the latter and they were sure.

Thanks for the help

Accept the penalty or decline the penalty & accept the result of the play.
