A New Jersey high school football team is on cloud nine after winning on an incredible Hail Mary play Friday night.
Washington Township was trailing No. 19 Winslow Township on the final play of Friday night’s game.
Quarterback Cole Aquino threw a bomb down the field for one final Hail Mary attempt for a last-ditch prayer.
A group of Washington Township and Winslow players gathered in the end zone, but the defending team decided not to knock the ball down and tried to catch it. The ball would hang in the air.
DeShawn Long of Washington Township swooped in right in the nick of time and caught the pass and stretched out into the endzone for the game-winning touchdown.
The play truly was incredible and ended in epic fashion. Just for Long to be there in the moment to make the catch is unreal.
