Nevada Zone Championship (Semi-Final) 1998
A leads 35 - 26. I am working the R position.
Three seconds left on game clock. After final B timeout.
4th and 17 for A.
A quarterback takes snap and starts retreating, game clock hits zero and audible horn sounds.
QB tosses (clearly) backwards pass towards me, I jump out of the way and let the ball hit the gound, team A players start jumping up and down and hugging each other while player of team B player scoops it up and takes it to the house. I signal TD.
Final A35 - B32
The B coach was a little upset when we (by rule) denied him the opportunity to attempt the try, however, in a calmer moment, after we had showered and team B was loading their equipment on the bus, the coach of team B said the rule makes sense.
Always expect the unexpected,
but never catch a live ball backward pass thrown to you by a player!!!
