What is the penalty for intentional grounding in high school football?

In high school football, the penalty for intentional grounding is a loss of down and a 10-yard penalty from the previous spot. If the quarterback is in the pocket and throws the ball away to avoid a sack without a receiver in the area, this infraction is called. The rule aims to prevent quarterbacks from unfairly avoiding tackles by throwing the ball away without a legitimate chance for a receiver to catch it.
