I think you never quit trying to win. I'd take the penalty, get the 7, then onsides kick.
When waaay ahead, display sportsmanship and don't run up the score.
When behind, play like you can still win, even if it's obviously impossible.
At less than NFL levels, this is even more importnat, because the game is about alot more than who wins and who loses. It's about teaching kids about effort, keeping your nose to the grindstone, good sportsmanship, etc.
