Fourth down. Six yards to go. The game about to end.
Mountain Brook trailed Hewitt-Trussville 10-3 on Friday night.
Then, that moment every player dreams about.
Mountain Brooks’s Strother Gibbs connected with Jake Thompson with 13 seconds left for a touchdown, making it a 10-9 game.
However, things only got more dramatic from there.
What happened next is being described as the “greatest play” in school history.
Mountain Brook went for the two-point conversion, with Paulson Wright tossing up a “prayer” after recovering a fumble near the sideline.
