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.
