The play "Ace Flipper Option" might go down along with "65 Toss Power Trap" as one of the best play calls in football.
At least on the high school level.
With time winding down in a Utah Class 4A high school football playoff game, Olympus High School (Salt Lake City, UT) broke out the "Ace Flipper Option" or a double reverse.
The result was Coleman Meier taking it in the end zone for the game winner.

With that touchdown Olympus won their playoff game with Springville 43-37.
“We practice it all the time and it just worked perfectly,” Meier told the Deseret News. “I just saw the end zone and went for it as hard as I could. ... It was a team effort and it feels amazing.”
“I called it just hoping we’d get into field goal range because we had another timeout, but I admit that I was sort of (freaking out) right after it was called,” Olympus head coach Aaron Whitehead told the Deseret News. “But when you get the ball in (Meier’s) and (Haller’s) hands, great things happen.
"When Meier crossed the goaline, it was like Christmas.”
Merry Christmas coach Whitehead, your call won the game.
