Hamilton High School pulls off incredible upheaval in 70 seconds

Perhaps high school football’s best comeback on YouTube has had competition. Despite dropping 17 points in the final 70 seconds, Hamilton High School, Arizona, claimed a life-changing victory over Nevada powerhouse Bishop Gorman on Friday night.

The contest video starts with 1:10 on the left. Hamilton trailed Bishop Gorman 24-7, but managed a field goal to take the score to 24-10 to extend the lead to 14 points.

Then things got silly.

Hamilton recovers an offensive kick. With 41 seconds left, the team ran the ball for a score of around 20 yards.

Now in a one-point game, Hamilton recovered another side kick. With 14 seconds left, Hamilton threw a touchdown pass. An extra point would tie things 8 seconds from the end.

Hamilton wasn’t looking for a tie, however. Instead of the extra point, Hamilton decided to make two. With receivers covered, Hamilton quarterback Nicco Marchiol rushed in and dove into the end zone for the go-ahead score.

Bishop Gorman had one last chance to try for a win, but failed to make it happen. Despite a 17-point lead with 70 seconds remaining, Hamilton managed to create a surprise.

Bishop Gorman was ranked # 7 at the entrance to the competition. Hamilton was in 24th place before the game.

That is likely to change following Friday’s wild victory by Hamilton.
