The return of Friday night lights in the Badger State saw Wisconsin 2022 QB commit Myles Burkett complete an improbably comeback.
The future Badger led his Franklin High School squad to a 1-0 start in his senior campaign, but the win didn’t come without adversity. Franklin trailed by 17 points in the fourth quarter of their opener against Appleton North, and had the football down three with under a minute left. The Sabers began their final drive at their own 12-yard line with just 41 seconds left on the clock.
From there it was Burkett’s magic and a ridiculous final catch by Jacques Brooks that gave Franklin a 35-31 win. Courtesy of WisSports.net’s Travis Wilson, here is a look at the final play:
