So many things are happening in this miracle.
The best we can tell, the freshman football team at Hendersonville High School (Nashville, Tn.) won on a last second play, and it’s going viral. As of the time we’re writing this, Luke Manning’s video has over 62,000 views, and SportsCenter’s video has over 724,000 video views.
Let’s talk about the score — 6-4. That’s a glorified baseball score going into the bottom of the ninth, but it’s not out of the ordinary for two solid young defenses. Or how about the quarterback’s last name? Manning. In Tennessee. That’s right. Only a Manning could pull this off.
Freshman Luke Manning will never forget this play, and it’s now all over the Internet. Down 6-4 and facing the last play of the game, the snap went over Manning’s head. Manning rushed back to pick it up, ran around some defenders, broke a couple of tackles and put a dime (on the run) in the end zone for the winning TD. I mean, does it get better than that?
It’s a play you have to see to believe straight from Manning’s Twitter account:
