Is Face Guarding a penalty in HS? We got called for Pass interferance on Friday night because our defender "face guarded " the WR. I didnt argue it much because I honestly dont know if that is legal or not. Any thoughts?

Rule 7 2009 NFHS Football Case Page 58
7.5.10 SITUATION C: A1 or B1 is in a position to catch or intercept a forward pass beyond the neutral zone. An opponent, who is in the vicinity, turns his back to the ball. The opponent directs his attention to A1 or B1 and waves his arms to block the vision of the potential receiver or interceptor. RULING: Hindering an opponent’s vision without making an attempt to catch, intercept or bat the ball, is
pass interference even though no contact was made.
