I guess you didn't see the Haysi/PV game for the Regional Championship (I want to say in 93) where Blaine Hackney ran a punt back with no time to beat PV and win the Regions. It was basically the same situation. Everyone was leaving, thought it was over, and Haysi won.

Good to see Russell have a good game also. He's one of more than a dozen kids from a Clintwood from 7 that have went on to get a college offer who weren't as good as this years Union front 7.

That play could be on Sportcenter's Top Plays.

But I also wonder why running into the kicker wasn't called and I believe an E&H fan thought the same thing and got pushed back by the ref's lol.

Did he toss it to another Haysi player when he was going down? Im tellin ya Lung this was nuts. This was like UVa-Wise's answer to The Play Stanford and Cal. No band, but against a rival team and a pitch as a player was going down.

Hull was in on a ton of tackles and made a pretty athletic play to intercept the ball and rumble 30 yards into Emory territory.

and the UVa-W players were blocked into the punter, hard to make a call there.

and lulz at Montgomery in the KTN. Yeah man, the game means nothing to you at all.

No. I was in no way comparing the two either. I watched the video you put up and it was awesome. The scenario just reminded me of that game a long time ago. It's what I thought of last night when you texted me about it. The other game was at Haysi and the field was pig slop as it was raining/snowing/sleeting. Just a return down memory lane.

If they played next year, could you imagine the amount of people coming to see that game after what transpired last night? I bet it would be unreal.

No, I understood you completely. It wasn't even close to this play. It was just a first thought from me. I just knew from your reaction you never saw that Regional game. Most people from PV were at about the parking lot when it happened and were super pissed when they heard the fans and are still pissed to this day.

It wont happen again. I was shocked it happened this time. After the last close game they had they said it would never happen again because they have nothing to gain by playing Wise. This sealed the deal.

I didnt mean that to sound rude, I thought you were saying the Haysi guy pitched the ball as well.
