What is the penalty for a sideline warning in high school football?

Assuming you mean defensive holding, the penalty is 10 yards from the basic spot and replay the down. Note that if the ball is thrown, the "basic spot" is the line of scrimmage, so the 10 yards is enforced from the previous spot, regardless of whether or not the ball is caught. But if the QB tucks the ball and runs, the "basic spot" is the end of the run. On the other hand, if you meant offensive holding and the hold occurs behind the basic spot, then the 10 yards are enforced from the spot of the foul.
