We're going to state! We're going to... no WE'RE going to state!

They love their football in Virginia.  Sometimes, they love it so much that they forget how to play it. Monacan High School lost out on their shot at a state title with just seconds remaining when they abandoned their defence after blocking down a last-gasp field goal thinking they had done enough to win the game. Guys, a blocked field goal is still live. Lake Taylor knew that and, having missed the chance to win the game by a single point when they fluffed their field goal at 14-12 with under 10 seconds left, they watched the opposition take off in celebration so they just picked the ball up and crossed the end zone to make it 14-19 and five seconds on the clock. The different cheers from both confused sets of fans is brilliant.  So close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JV0yN8DEl8
