Sophomore slips at least a dozen tackles en route to the end zone.


There are punt returns that amaze. Then there is what Cy-Fair (Cypress, Texas) sophomore Christian Richmond pulled off Thursday night in a 57-21 win over Cypress Springs.

Like many great runs, it came after a misplay or fumble. In this case, the punt bounced over his head, he gathered about his own 26 and from there. … sheer entertainment.

We counted him slipping past 12 players — wait — how is that possible? Well, at least one of them missed him twice.



If Richmond, a 5-foot-8, 155-pounder, doesn't make it to Sundays on the gridiron then he might consider "Dancing with the Stars" on Mondays.
