While NFL foobaw generally bores me stiff (unless the Bears are in contention, and, uh, well, never mind), I do like stories like this from the world of high school grid:

Totino-Grace fullback Pierce Lubinski called it The New Immaculate Reception. Said Mahtomedi coach Dave Muetzel: “That’s the game of football.”Totino-Grace, stunned by a last-minute touchdown and a two-point conversion that gave Mahtomedi an 8-7 lead, scored on a desperation 50-yard touchdown pass as time expired for a 13-8 victory in the Class 4A championship game.

Jordan Marshall’s pass tipped off the hands of Mahtomedi defender Nick Cedergren, off the hands of intended receiver Jake King and into the hands of Totino-Grace receiver Micah Koehn. Breaking one tackle and tip-toeing down the right sideline, Koehn reached the end zone and then was mobbed by teammates.

Hope the video pops up out there somewhere.
