4. Hail Matthews
Hail Mary passes are, by definition, desperate plays. But the pass that
Dunham (Baton Rouge, La.) completed to stun Menard on Friday night seemed particularly unlikely. Quarterback
Jyron Walker threw up a prayer in the vicinity of receiver
Josh Matthews — and about eight Menard defenders.
Somehow,
Matthews came down with the pass for a 46-yard score, and Dunham came
away with a 27-24 victory over Holy Savior Menard in the
LHSAA Division III playoffs.
"I saw the ball go up. They tipped it up in the air and I took it off of one of the defensive player's hands," Matthews
told The Advocate after the game.
