Simultaneous Possession?

The Side Judge actually made the immediate (and correct) touchdown call on the simultanious catch!
This play was correctly ruled a touchdown and was a textbook example of NFHS Rules 2-4-3 and 7-5-4.

I think perhaps you should take another look at both the play and the NFHS Rules Book!

Using CCA mechanics for a 6 or 7 man crew the HL, when he reads pass is to drift down field about 5 yards to watch action behind the U. The LJ holds the LOS. On this play the H might have been a little too far down field. Maybe he observed action that caused him to move farther down field.

As far as the outcome of the play, NFHS rules TD, NCAA rules FBullock is correct touchback.
