Trailing 38-35, the 36-yard catch gave Flowery Branch a 41-35 victory.

Flowery Branch head coach Lee Shaw recognized how unlikely the catch was, even on the luckiest of days.

"It was a gift from God," he told AccessNorthGa.com. "I think it pinged off of three or four players before it pinged to Casey. There was some big time mojo there."
