Team A up by a point with seconds to go. Last play of the game. QB wants to run out the clock and he runs backward to use up time and he ends up in the EZ and I think he took a knee or ran out of the EZ.
Fine way to lose the state championship.

I heard something on Paul Harvey a few years a go about a Washington, B-8 playoff (or was it the championship?) where something similar thing happened. I think it was Taholah high school that lost, but all my web searches have turned up nothing.
Team A up by 3 or 4 points, just a few seconds left. A takes the snap runs backwards. When the scoreboard buzzer goes off the QB throws the ball in the air and starts celebrating. The ball flew behind him and was bouncing around. Team B picks up the ball and runs for a touchdown, beating Team A.
This is why we want schools to rip out that damn buzzer...

I've heard of that play, we make sure to turn the buzzer off before the game starts. Set the clock to 1 second to test it, if you can't get it off let both coaches no so theres no issue.
Either way thats a rough play....
