A long time ago, i played in the state championship. ( 1982/83 ) For the season our offense averaged 38 points a game. Our defense had given up a total of 20 points for the season. We were a running team so we passed very rarely. In the state game we found ourselves down 13-0 with 2 minutes left. We got the ball and passing scored a touchdown and the extra point making it 13-7 with 1:20 to go. The kick pinned them deep. The defense held first two downs then recovered a fumble leaving the offense on the 25 or 30 yard line with 40 seconds. We once again passed the ball on every play and scored. I will remember that extra point kick forever. Watched it go through making it 13-14 our favor. With less than 20 seconds on the clock they received the kick and fumbled it trying to lateral. After the complete domination of every team we played including the the team we played for the state title earlier in the season. We had to come from behind in the final 2 minutes to win state. What a great memory.
