OSG High: Double Reverse Wins High School Football Game At The Gun

HT: Deseret News

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.

OSG High: Entire Football Team Suspended, Spot Earned Back Through Service

((HT: KSL-TV))

Roosevelt-Union (UT) High has had an interesting week...

They are 3-2 heading into their homecoming game this Friday, but after the coaching staff thought the team was going in too many different directions mentally, all the players on the squad were suspended. They had to earn their spot on the roster back through service to their school, parents, and community.

Last Friday was a loss to Judge Memorial Catholic. And when coaches found out that their athletes were cruising in class and even encouraging bullying through an anonymous website, they had had enough. The student that was the point of the bullying was not a member of the Union High team.

Head coach Matt Labrum told the team to hand in their jerseys...
So, it's been an interesting week of not practicing...


McGeary may not be the only coach who overcharged and it will be interesting to see if anyone else falls because of the McGeary case. The end game of prosecutors, of course, comes from intent...
