DB Foul Enforcement
« on: October 23, 2023, 02:31:17 PM »
In NFHS rules are there any DB fouls, or live ball enforced as DB fouls, that would be "tacked on" thereby giving team A 1st down after failing to make the line-to-gain on a 4th down play?

Short answer: No.

5-1-2b: After a fourth down, a new series of downs shall be awarded only after considering the effect of any act during the down, except a nonplayer or unsportsmanlike foul.

Any dead ball foul (or live-ball-as-dead-ball enforcement) after 4th down will not grant a first down.

No. If offense didn't make the line to gain during the play, their series is over and it's B's ball.  The penalty is then enforced and it will be 1st and 10 for B.
