In an early round playoff game in Oklahoma high school football, defending state champions Douglass High had a 19-14 lead against Woodward High with under a minute left and the ball on the Woodward 1-yard line. All they had to do was take a knee and run out the clock.
Instead, Douglass tried to punch the ball in for another score. Unfortunately, the move backfired...big time.
Douglass botched the handoff on the running play and Woodward High's Garrett Roach picked up the ball on the 1-yard line. Roach ran 99-yards to the opposite end zone for a Woodward touchdown, giving Woodward the surprising 20-19 victory over Douglass High.
