Hank Pladson of Eastlake goes from top play to not top 10.

Video: When you go from top 10 to not top 10
See a catch that will make you say "wow" and a celebration that will do the same.


Hank Pladson pulled off one of best catches of the season on Friday. His celebration afterwards? Not so great.

The 6-foot, 180-pound junior receiver wrapped both his arms around the defender's back and somehow juggled the ball into his grasp to complete the incredible 33-yard touchdown reception.

That was great. But his celebration with a teammate needed some work.



Pladson posted 129 receiving yards, three touchdowns, seven tackles and one interception to engineer Eastlake (Sammamish, Wash.) to a 49-7 victory over Issaquah.
