North Cobb Christian scores from 65 yards out as time expires in wildest finish of 2022 so far.
North Cobb Christian (Kennesaw, Ga.) pulled off its best impression of "The Play" Fright night, using five laterals to stun Wesleyan 19-15 in the wildest ending of the young high school football season. The finish elicits memories of California's win over Stanford in 1982 minus the band being on the field.
North Cobb Christian trailed Wesleyan 15-13 with 10.8 seconds left to go in the game with the ball spotted on the North Cobb Christian 35-yard line. Lined up in trips right, Eagles quarterback
Matty Go found
Skyler Parker, the single-side receiver, open on a 10-yard curl and that's when the mayhem started.
Parker makes a dash for the near side, but gets cut off at the 50 before starting a string of laterals that ends with Parker having the ball and heaving a cross-field pass to a wide-open
teammate. With a caravan of blocking, he raced 55 yards down the far side for the score.
