High school team finds the most brutal way to lose a game, end the season
Fayetteville High School (Arkansas) found a brutal way to lose a high school football game Friday night.
While leading Central (Little Rock) 35-34 and backed up deep in their own territory, the ball was snapped with 4 seconds left, and the quarterback took a knee with 2 seconds left on 4th down. The Fayetteville coaches thought they had won the game. However, after an official review, it was ruled that Central had 2 seconds left to win the game, and it sent out the field goal team.
The quarterback had taken a knee 2 seconds too early. The kicker nailed the 29-yard field goal to win the game and end Fayetteville’s season.
We haven’t seen a more heartbreaking way to lose a game in a long, long time.
Watch this:

Situational awareness is key with QB’s. Horrible loss, but hopefully a learning experience for the QB and coach.
Situational awareness is key with coaches…take a delay of game
That’s exactly right. This isn’t college or the pros. This kid was a first year starter and was probably the third or fourth game that he was the starter. This is 100% on the coaches. There was about a 1 second differential game and play clock and a delay of game and 5 yard penalty and then a snap and fall or whatever would be game. Can’t blame a 16 year old kid that’s a first year starter playing in a stadium he’s not used to and in a big playoff game. Coach should be fired for this one. My nephew plays FS and I hate he had to see his season end like this because he has an idiot for a coach. A coach that was a 3 year starter at QB in the SEC. If he doesn’t get fired, I would have a hard time showing my face around after doing that.
Shoutout to the central players that stopped celebrating and uplifted the Fayetteville players
That was good to see. Even in the excitement of winning a game that for at least a few minutes had thought they had lost and their season was over, they stopped to do that and shows a lot of class. Central knew exactly how those kids were feeling because just a minute or so earlier they were on the other side of the ball feeling the same way. It sucks for those kids on the Fayetteville team because their coach cost them that game by not telling the QB what to do but really for not taking a delay of game because this would have never happened.
If this were the SEC and Auburn, they would have found some way to give them the game anyway on a technicality.
Your mom called me.She doesn’t want you living in her basement anymore and wants you out by next week.
Mrs. Theorist was spot on when she named her child.
They would have ended the game even though they saw in review that there was time left. We’ve already seen the refs make the wrong call that went in Auburn’s favor and then the play went to review and even after a review and plenty of evidence showing the correct call they changed things up so it would stay with Auburn and not let them lose the game. Should have known that Morris didn’t get hired for his coaching. Someone has to work off the debt for these favors they keep getting. Only team in the country that’s had the refs help them get 3 wins just since the last game of the regular session last year.
