By high school football rules, hurdling is illegal. But what is a hurdle and what is a general jump over a would-be tackler?

That's a tough call for any referee.

In this case, Henry (Ashland, Va.) 6-foot-1, 180-pound junior quarterback Hunter Hart scored legally while leaping high over an Atlee defender. One could argue that it was a hurdle but no one can deny what a beautiful, graceful leap it was into the end zone.

A deer or gazelle comes quickly to mind. So does Superman. Hart just needs a cape and he's set for Halloween.



Hart's touchdown led the Patriots to a 26-14 win over Atlee (Mechanicsville) on Friday to improve to 7-1.
