With more than 16,000 high school football teams playing an average amount of 10 games per year multiplied by approximately 45 — the average number of plays in a game — the number of plays from scrimmage each season is more than 7,000,000.
Of those, here are 10 of the very best from the 2021 season selected by MaxPreps.
There's a little bit of everything on both sides of the ball: Hail Mary's to decide state championships; A once-in-a-generation scoop-and-score which more resembled an interception (of pitch) and score; And then just some amazingly athletic, elusive and determined touchdown runs, the last of which was determination times six by Oklahoma-pound athlete
Jaren Kanak of
Hays (Kan.).
MaxPreps host, executive content editor Steve Montoya brings them all to you in this priceless five minute, 8 second video.
