You haven't heard the last of the wild ending in Kings Park's 41-35 win over Sayville on Saturday. Sayville will file a written protest this morning at the Section XI offices in regard to the final play of regulation.

With six seconds left and Sayville leading 35-27, Sayville faced a fourth-and-1 from its own 30. Dillon Boos fumbled the snap and the ball bounced toward halfback Corey Caulfield. A video shows the ball squirt just out of Caulfield's reach. Kings Park's Trevor Ruxton goes down on two knees, grabs the ball with two hands and throws it over his head toward the Sayville goal line.

Then, Kings Park's Sean Russell beat Terrence Macken to the ball, catches it on a bounce, and runs in a TD to make it 35-33 as time expired. A two-point conversion tied it at 35 and then KP won in overtime.

Sayville coach Rob Hoss requested a meeting with head ref Ed Hickland to address the play before the two-pointer. "I told him that the Kings Park player was down on his knees with the ball and that he threw an illegal forward pass toward our end zone," he said. "I said, 'This is just ridiculous and I'm protesting the play right now.'"

Hoss said Hickland told him that he didn't see it that way and told him to leave the field. A phone call to the president of the Suffolk County Football Officials Association was not returned.
