One of the most improbable endings to a football game in the history of our great sport happened in Florida on Saturday night, as Lake Mary High School trailed Vero Beach 27-21 before the final play of the game.
But then came one of the craziest Hail Mary plays ever.
The deep ball was knocked down but was later caught by a Lake Mary player. But then the tackle appeared to be complete, and then the ball was sent into the end zone from the side of another player.
Pass passed by Noah Grubbs.
It fell into the arms of Barrett Schultz.
He found Tavarius Brundridge Jr. running around him for the ball.

The rest is history.
It was Lake Mary’s first-ever state championship, playing in the FHSAA Class 7A finals.
Sports are absolutely crazy. How did this happen?
It’s a magic that’s mixed with joy on one side and heartbreak on the other.
Lake Mary reached the top of the state in a way and moment they will never forget.
