Ok I play box lacrosse goalie(In Midget). And the ball hit me in the mask. Right when the guy was shooting one of our players hit the other kid and they gave the ball to him. The call they made was interference. What do you think?

It's most likely impossible for us to tell without seeing the play. I'm also not sure how different the box midget rules are from American field lacrosse.
However, under NCAA and NFHS rules, if the contact occurred when the ball was more than 5 yards from the shooter, it could be called interference or an illegal body check, depending on the level of the contact. And it doesn't take long for a shot to travel 5 yards. So, if the ball was more than 5 yards away and there was interference, awarding the ball to the team that was fouled would be the correct call.
