Down but not out
We’ve all been a part of a sports moment where you say something along the lines of, “Okay, I have officially seen it all.” Give it a few days/weeks and there’s something else that’s even more incredible which makes you say the phrase again. Well, last weekend (November 9) at Minnesota’s 6A State Quarterfinals, Maple Grove Crimson stunned St. Michael-Albertville when they pulled one of, if not, the most improbable comeback you will ever see.
After scoring a late fourth-quarter touchdown, Maple Grove successfully converted two onsides kicks, and marched down the field consecutively to take the lead. All in the final minute of play. With that win they advanced to the State Championship game.
Here’s a condensed version of the epic comeback

So, I’ll say it again, “we have seen it all,” but with the Utah High School Football Championships this weekend maybe I will eat my words.
Good luck to Bingham, East, Lehi, Skyridge, Orem and Mountain Crest this weekend.
