Adrian Medina uses unusual method to get the ball back for the Bulldogs.


Coaches always encourage their players to use their head. But in the case of Kelly Catholic (Beaumont, Texas) coach Al Rabb, he encouraged his kicker Adrian Medina to use his opponent's head.

Actually, Rabb instructed Medina to kick the ball real hard and the result was one of the more unusual — and successful — onside kick attempts you'll ever see.

Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, it didn't decide the outcome as they dropped their second straight, 34-7 to Kountze on Friday.
