Homewood stuns Bob Jones on last play
|
|
MADISON -- A relentless series of miraculous plays by both teams left Bob Jones High reeling when Homewood High scored the winning touchdown on the last play of the game. After watching Bob Jones score two touchdowns in the final minute to take the lead, Homewood scored the winning touchdown as time expired for a 37-35 Friday night. "We deserved to lose," Bob Jones coach Kevin Rose said. It was a frantic fourth quarter for both teams. Homewood pushed out to a 31-20 lead before Bob Jones scored two touchdowns in the final minute to grab a 34-31 lead with 25 seconds left. But Homewood sprinted 60 yards on three plays, scoring the winning touchdown when quarterback Stephen Baggett hit David Powell in the left corner of the end zone in front of Bob Jones cornerback Alex Gilbert. "There were no losers tonight in this football game," Homewood coach Dickey Wright said. "It was just a great game. It was unfortunate that, in high school football, somebody has to lose a game like that." All dramatics aside, Rose focused on Bob Jones' sloppy play in the second half as the prelude to the loss. "We turned the ball over three times in the second half," Rose said. "We did not play well defensively. We had a punt and an extra point blocked. "Good football teams don't do that." As he walked off the field, Bob Jones linebacker Branden O'Hara seemed more stunned than anything. "Stuff happens," O'Hara said. "It's a football game. All we can do is come out and do our best." Homewood's key play in the winning drive was a hook-and-lateral pass play that gained 59 yards to the Bob Jones 11-yard line. Baggett hit Powell on a 10-yard pass and Powell then quickly lateraled the ball to Kerry Bowden. "We were in our zone (defense)," O'Hara said. "We've got to be more disciplined next time." Bob Jones rallied in the final minute on a 1-yard TD run by Trai Ragland and a two-point conversion run by Collins Moore with 47 seconds left. Bob Jones then recovered the onside kick and needed three plays to take the lead on a 21-yard Zach Freeman pass to Moore to take a 35-31 lead with 25 seconds left. Freeman finished with three touchdown passes for Bob Jones while Homewood's Baggett had two TD passes. Each team also blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. Bob Jones had 434 yards of offense while Homewood had 437 yards. By Paul Gattis -- The Huntsville Times October 02, 2009, 11:26PM
