Penn Hills with the lead, 28-27. Central Catholic has the ball on the PH 36 yd line, five seconds left. Throw short pass across the middle, caught at the 32. Clock shows zeros and PH starts to celebrate. Refs say timeout was called, put one second on clock. CC lines up to kick a game winning 49 yd field goal.
Kick is blocked! PH team and coaches rush the field in celebration!
But wait.......what’s that??? A lineman for CC picks up the ball along the far sidelines right on the 32 yard line and rumbles into the end zone! After a long discussion, refs rule that since the blocked kick didn’t cross the line of scrimmage it was a live ball.......TD counts......Central Catholic wins!
What a heartbreaker of a loss for PH. Huge win for CC. Don’t know what playoff implications the game had but one amazing finish!
