Clutch catch gives Murfreesboro a conference title.
The Rattlers didn't rattle under pressure on Thursday night.
Murfreesboro (Ark.) was down 20-18 to Dierks with one last chance from the Outlaw' 30-yard line in a big-time rivalry game. Rattlers quarterback
Ryan Roberts scrambled to his left and unexpectedly pitched the ball to
JC Motley. The receiver rolled to his right and lofted a desperation heave off his back foot.
The ball was tipped in the air by two colliding defenders and
Troy Stone was waiting in the end zone for the game-winning reception with four seconds showing on the clock.
Pandemonium.
The clutch catch gave Murfreesboro a huge 26-20 victory and coveted 7-2A conference championship.
