Alabama High School Team Wins With Nine Lateral Touchdown On Final Play

The only thing this was missing was the marching band from Cal being out on the field and a trombone player getting run over.

Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa was done 30-28 with 2.9 seconds left on their own 41-yard line.

AL.com details what happened next:

The play started with quarterback Ethan Crawford passing in the left flats to running back Marcus Wilkins. Nine laterals later, Crawford picked up a fumbled ball and ran untouched the final 46 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
“We practice something that kind of looked like that every Thursday,” Adams said. “If it’s a fumble and the other team picks it up, we’re behind anyway so it doesn’t matter. Our guys did a good job of doing what they were coached to do and staying behind each other.”
Also involved in the play after Wilkins included Terrance Callaway, AJ Myers and Caleb Robbins. Crawford touched the ball four times on the play, including the final run down the right sideline for a touchdown.
“We try to keep the ball alive and somehow get it clear to run in the end zone,” Adams said. “Obviously, there is some luck in that."
