Louisiana H.S Wins Playoff Game on Hail Mary Pass

This doesn't happen very often, but it's pretty cool when it does.

Set-up: Last play of the Dunham (Baton Rouge, LA) vs. Holy Savior Menard in the Louisiana Division III Select Playoffs. Menard is up 24-21, clock is nearing zero.

Dunham has the ball on Menard's 46 yard line.

Quarterback Jayron Walker drops back and throws the ball as far as he can into a crowded end zone full of players from both teams.

And somehow the ball ends up in receiver Joshua Matthews's hands.

Touchdown...game over, Dunham comes back and gets the win 27-24.

Wow!

Here's video of the fateful play--

OSG High: Cheating Using Hudl...??? Maybe...

Destrehan (LA) High is in the top 5 in Class 5A at 8-0, and is under investigation by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) for possibly cheating using Hudl...

“We’ve have never dealt with anything like this before,” LHSAA executive director Kenny Henderson told The Shreveport Times' Roy Lang III.

Hudl has become the beauty of the high school football world. It is a computerized clearing house for itemizing game film by play, formation, player, situation... you name it, the program breaks it down and has caused the stopping of coaches meeting at restaurants at half-way points on the freeway to prevent tape swapping forever...

And, pretty much, every school uses it now...

Looks like Destrehan got the South LaFourche (LA) username and password and went to town...

Destrehan ended up beating South LaFourche 49-24 Friday night.

From Lang:

According to Henderson, the LHSSA “visited” Destrehan, located along the Mississippi River about 20 miles west of New Orleans in St. Charles Parish, on Monday.

“Were doing an investigation and I can’t tell you more than that because it’s an ongoing investigation and, honestly, I just don’t know what to tell you,” Henderson said.

Here's what Destrehan has done in the past- winning a state title back in 2008...

Police Arrest Refs at Louisiana H.S Football Game

((wwltv.com))

What?

Two High School football referees were arrested at a Covington, Louisiana game Friday night by police officers after an argument appeared to escalate to the point the refs tried throwing an officer out of the game.

Sometime Friday during the Mandeville/St. Paul's game, it appears the refs and the chain crew from St. Paul's got into an argument. A Covington police officer apparently stepped in and the refs began arguing with him.

That's when it got weird. The two refs were taken from the field during the 3rd quarter of the game, a game won by St. Pauls 20-3.

Police say the refs will be charged with Public Intimidation.

Your story from WWL-TV RIGHT HERE

This is just bizarre. At this point, there's no explanation why the refs went crazy nor why they couldn't be calmed down.

WWL was at the game, but their photographer left before the craziness began. Here's the game highlights:

OSG High: Summer 7-On-7 Brawl

((HT: KHOU-TV via WAFB-TV Baton Rouge))

The summer yields itself to camps out in the woods, hooking up with other schools for games every now and then, getting up early for weight training, drills, and the like...

We can now add a big brawl to the mix in Baton Rouge...

Woodlawn and Plaquemine lasted 20 minutes before the following...


It took a few minutes to restore order and get the teams to neutral corners, and the game was left at the point it was when the fists started flying. There was a little chippiness that led to all the angst...

No word on any discipline from the LHSAA at present...
