Video store: Southlake QB hurls way into high school lore

Southlake Carroll junior QB Riley Dodge gets sick seconds before he throws the go-ahead touchdown in Southlake Carroll's Class 5A Division I state final win over Austin Westlake. Late in the fourth quarter and the score tied, 29-29, here is the replay thanks to Fox Sports Southwest. Watch the endzone view broadcast replay. Guaranteed to be one of the most talked about plays in Texas football history. :wacko:

The receiver at the top of the screen moved off the line to get the play from the other receiver on that side but never reset himself on the line before the snap. He got back in position a split second before the snap. Seems that should have been a penalty ... not that I care.

Props to Riley for (literally) gutting it out, but anyone who's played football for any period of time knows that phenomena isn't that uncommon.

Just not normally caught on film.

Riley is an absolute competitor. He threw up again on the sidelines after the TD. There was a backup QB warming up, but you couldnt have removed Riley from that game if he had a leg fall off. The kid is a leader and is tough. I dont know where he will play college ball, but that kid will be a winner...regardless of his size.

GMG!!!
