3. Good Lourdes
Who could blame the
Lourdes (Rochester, Minn.) coaching staff for going for two points in a do-or-die elimination Class 3A playoff semifinal game with Pierz. It was snowing and cold.
When Lourdes running back
Carter Greguson looked to be stopped cold a yard short of the end zone, it looked like an ill-fated decision. But quarterback
Noah Hillman and Greguson were on the same page. Hillman screamed for the ball and, while in the grasp, Greguson pitched the ball back.
Hillman basically strolled into the end zone and the top-seeded Eagles escaped with a wild 25-24 victory.
"It was crazy," Hillman told
SCTimes.com. "Coaches always tell us not to go down with the football on a two-point play. Carter pitched it to me and I just found the end zone."
