I bet that kid had some psychological problems over that - how do you recover from that kind of thing?

2001 Washington State AA Semi-Final
Lynden Christian leads Elma 18 - 14
L.C. Ball 3rd and 10 on the L.C. 45 yard line.
Elma takes a timeout with 5 seconds remaining in game.
L.C. coach instructs his QB to run out the clock by taking the snap and running backward into his own endzone and taking an intentional safety.
L.C. QB takes the snap, runs into his own endzone, drops the ball after crossing the goal line, jumps up and down and starts hugging his team mates. (Time expires during the play)
An alert Elma player bends over and picks up the (live) ball in the endzone.
TOUCHDOWN - Elma wins 20 to 18 and advances to the State Championship game (which ELMA wins).
Lynden Christian turns in their gear for the season, finishing the year with a great 11-1 record. (Yes, this was their only loss!!!)

Note: Many of you may have seen this as it was flashed on television sports shows all around the nation.

Trivia Quesion:
What do you think they will still be talking about at the Lynden Christian 40 year class reunion in 2041?

My white hat yesterday told me a story similar to the one from Nevada. It was similar in that the kid heard the horn and threw the ball up, and the defense caught it and ran it back for the winning touchdown. Worse part-it was the state championship game in Kansas.

What year was this? Don't remember anything like this happening in the last 10 years at least and probably didn't happen in the last 20 years.

Only thing wierd happening in a state championship game in the last 10 years that I remember was a field goal attempt that would have won the game but it hit an upright. This was a college field and only one team was kicking field goals and extra points.
