Crespi Carmelite High School Miracle Football Play

Crespi Carmelite High School's final play in the California State Playoffs. This was to win it all.

Story:
Miracle finishes always bear watching, but one in California on Friday night took even more precedence when it lifted Encino (Calif.) Crespi High past Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame, the very team it knocked off, 34-28, with a remarkable final play.

As reported in both the Los Angeles Daily News and Los Angeles Times, the two teams faced a do-or-die game for a playoff berth, where Crespi found itself tied 28-28 with just enough time for a final snap some 68 yards from the Notre Dame end zone. As you can see below, quarterback Kenny Stenhouse took the snap and dropped off a short pass to the Celitcs' diminutive playmaker, Michael Davison, who used a variety of elusive moves to get the ball upfield before he appeared to be wrapped up by a Notre Dame defender. That's when he pitched the ball back to fellow receiver Terrence Williams, who traveled the remaining 50 yards, dragging past and leaping beyond a defender for the final 5 yards to playoff pay dirt.
Amazingly, the Knights were more than halfway there, holding a 28-7 edge at halftime. That's when Crespi slowly worked its way back into the game, eventually tying things up early in the fourth quarter.

My guess is that the actual blue team was sick, so they filled in some of the defensive spots with players from the cross country, volleyball and male cheer and poms squads. Lmao!

@bballsuperstar08 Ummm no you don't. I'm a high school official and if you step out, you're out. If that wing official gave the guy the touchdown just for effort even though he stepped out, he should be suspended for the rest of the season.

Hate to lessen the theatrics of it, but this was not in the California State playoffs. It was the regular season finale, in which a playoff berth was on the line.
