On the last play of the half, four different players touch the ball in one of the more innovative plays you'll ever see.



It's one thing to attempt a hook-and-lateral at the end of the half. But it's another to throw in a reverse and option wrinkle, like the Heber Springs (Ark.) Panthers pulled off on Friday night.

On the last play of the half, quarterback Hunter Chandler completed a slant pass to Dillon Moore, who pitched it to Pierce Mitchum reversing the other direction.

Mitchum made a nice leaping catch of the wild pitch, then ran to the sideline. When a defender approached him, he pitched the ball beautifully to Chandler Marquardt, who sprinted untouched into the end zone.

The touchdown covered 25 yards and Heber Springs (6-3) was on its way to a 40-13 victory.



It was truly one of the most inventive plays we've seen all season and tough to execute. The Panthers did so beautifully.
