The first week of high school football in Alabama saw something that will be hard to top as the play of the season.
On Friday, the Ohatchee Indians trailed the New Hope Indians 71-70 with 4.1 seconds remaining in regulation with the ball on New Hope's 37-yard line.
Quarterback Jake Roberson threw up a Hail Mary and found receiver Brayden Collins in the end zone to give Ohatchee the win 76-71 as stunned New Hope defenders looked on.
