Matriculate

Tonight I witnessed the greatest high school football play of all time. I'm not kidding. 4th quarter, 4 minutes to play, the home team is down by a touchdown. Ball is on the visiting team's 30 yard line. Hand off to the right side, #5 is approached by a defensive player not even 2 yards into the play. As the player goes for the tackle, #5 JUMPS OVER his head and continues with the play to score a touchdown and tie the game. The entire stadium froze for a moment, the players on he field froze for a moment. It was incredible.

Now, you hear people say all the time, "he jumped over him, it was a great play." But this was different. This dude literally leaped over another player directly in front of him and landed on his feet. It would be on Sportscenter if it were a college or NFL play. It was amazing.

Twice during the game, I yelled "keep matriculating the ball down the field boys." Absolutely no one cared, laughed, caught on or even told me shut up. *sighs* Oh well, we can't all appreciate the greatest football quotes of all time.
