Lateral-filled plays rarely result in touchdowns in the NFL.
But in a Massachusetts JV high school game Saturday, the impossible happened.
Mansfield High School trailed North Attleborough High School with a just a few seconds remaining, and one last kickoff on the way. After receiving the ball at their own 32, the Green Hornets began a series of laterals that, at one point, brought them back to their own 2-yard line.
What happened next was nothing short of a miracle.
No. 23, whoever he is, shouldn’t have to do homework for a week.
The craziest part about this play is that North Attleborough likely kicked the ball short in an effort to prevent a touchdown, only have to the strategy totally backfire.
Perhaps Mansfield can teach Emporia State how to properly execute these kinds of plays.
