Mater Dei (CA) converts two-point conversion for comeback win
Mater Dei's win over St. John Bosco came down to a two-point conversion, and the Monarchs made it happen. With just four minutes left in the game, St. John Bosco led Mater Dei 34-21 and it seemed as though the victory was sealed. That was until Mater Dei freshman quarterback Paytyn Guess put together two touchdown drives
that ended with a successful two-point conversion. Guess connected with sophomore tight end Tyler Fritz at the edge of the end zone for the final two-point conversion attempt, he bobbled the pass but eventually gained control to secure the game-winning points.
Quincy WR Sawyer Harshberger scores game-winner in insane Illinois playoff saga
Sawyer Harshberger and the Quincy team didn't realize it at the time, but the senior WR's 85-yard burst to the end zone would be thedefining factor in a historic high school football game. The IHSA thriller ended with a whopping 172 combined points and a venue change. In the high school record books, Harshberger's score will be noted as the final for the Blue Devils as they beatSarah E. Goode STEM Academy 88-84.
Whitesboro (NY) pulls off miracle game-winning TD against Carthage
What just happened? Whitesboro (NY) pulled off one of the craziest game-winning touchdowns you'll ever see, taking down Carthage in the NYSPHSAA Section 3 Class A quarterfinal game. Quarterback Frank Zupancic dropped back and connected with Connor McDonald, who was hit mid-air. Landon Pearsall caught the tipped ball before it hit the ground and threw a lateral back to McDonald who took the ball all the way to the end zone. Watch the video to believe it.
Randle (TX) RB Landen Williams-Callis makes a 75-yard house call
Randle (TX) running back Landen Williams-Callis knew the Lions needed a big play, and he delivered. Angleton (TX) and Randle were all knotted up 22-22 with just over a minute left in regulation. That was when Williams-Callis, a 5-star Texas running back commit, found an opening and took the ball 75 yards to the house to secure the game-winning touchdown.
Carrollton QB CJ Cypher throws a dime for a TD
Carrollton quarterback CJ Cypher has made impressive plays all season, and this throw is just one example. He rolled to his left, found junior Rontre Welch in the back corner of the end zone and dropped a dime right into his hands for the Trojans' fourth touchdown of the half. Carrollton rolled past East Coweta 48-17.
