Video: Improbable 70-yard punt return for touchdown
Determined senior goes the distance in a tough 14-7 win over rival from Michigan.
Some plays are so special that time appears to almost stand still.
That was exactly what made the 70-yard punt return by
Penn (Mishawaka, Ind.) senior
Matt Kominkiewicz in Friday's 14-7 home win over Brother Rice (Bloomfield Hills, Mich) so remarkable.
The 5-foot-9, 165-pounder appeared to be tackled after just a six-yard return and that's when time — and defenders stopped — before the determined running back and receivers defied all logic with one of the best punt returns of the season.
It led the Kingsmen to their third straight victory without a defeat
Kominkiewicz is also a pretty fair baseball player after hitting .295 last spring with 28 runs and nine steals for Penn's 28-4 squad. He plays second base and outfielder.
