They don’t call it a Hail Mary for no reason. Anything can happen when the ball is in the air, with a half-dozen players in the end zone waiting to make a play on it.
Sometimes the prayer of a pass is answered, though, which happened this past weekend when the top two high school football teams in Idaho met up.

As exciting as that was, Rocky Mountain (now 6-1) failed on the ensuing two-point conversion try. Meridian won the game 14-12 and remains undefeated (6-0) on the season. Next up, they face Capital (Idaho) on Friday.
