This Hook-And-Ladder TD Is The Most Exhilarating Play Since Boise State In The 2007 Fiesta Bowl

Friday night’s Pennsylvania high school football game between Massaponex and Riverbend came down to the wire. Both teams matched each other with seven points in each of the first three quarters and it appeared to be the same in the fourth.

However, with the clock winding down toward overtime, Massaponex was able to punch it in and take a six-point lead that would hold for the win. The Panthers are now 2-1 on the season, but Friday’s win may not have happened without this extremely exciting Hook-and-Ladder play before halftime.

With five seconds remaining in the second quarter, quarterback Donte Hawthorne took the snap at the Bears’ 47-yard-line. He dropped back and connected with tight end Nathaniel Quance (great name) for a gain of thirteen.

He had three defenders converging on him at the 30-yard-line and had nowhere to go. However, in what appeared to be a designed play, Quance lateraled the ball back to his right, while in the air before his feet even touched the turf.

On the receiving end, wide receiver Tyheem “Shifty” Kimble (another great name) was streaking down the sideline, caught the pitch and went streaking. He took off down the sideline for 30 yards and the game-tying touchdown.

The play is exhilarating, take a look:

To get a better sense of just how impressive Quance’s catch-and-toss really is, watch this angle:

Massaponax’s Hook-and-Ladder is easily one of the most impressive that you’ll ever see. It has a striking resemblance to the trick play that Boise State ran in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma.

However, Boise’s pitch came on the ground. Quance’s flip came while he was still in the air. I’d argue that he takes the crown here.
