The Boardman Spartans attempted a field goal against the Warren G. Harding Raiders, who were leading 14-12, with only a few seconds left in a dramatic high school football game in Warren, Ohio, on Oct. 9 (video below).

The field goal was blocked by the Raiders, but a Spartans player recovered the live ball and ran it in for a touchdown, notes WKBN.

The Raiders players on the sidelines ran out on the field to celebrate what they thought was a victory, but the Spartans won 18-12, reports ThunderTreats.com.

Not only should they have been playing the whistle, high school players should know that a blocked field goal attempt is also a live ball, someone on the team that blocked the kick should have just jumped on the ball and the game would have been over.

This :thumbsup:

In one of my games our corner linebacker jumped up and smacked a ball down against the opposing guy's helmet..it popped up, same guy caught it and ran it in for a touchdown while the opposing team stood around. The ball was totally live and when the team starting bitching I heard the ref from the other side of the field clearly - SHUT IT, THERE WAS NO WHISTLE BLOWN! DID YOU HEAR A WHISTLE? :lol:

Sometimes you even see the pros stand around thinking a play is over even though no whistle has been blown...then you see some guy from the other team scoop up the ball and run for TD :lol:

We played a really bad team in our junior year. On offense they would snap the ball and literally stand straight up and cower from the oncoming onslaught of our defensive line :lol:

They kept pitching the ball to their 'running back' (more like a walker from TWD..) on my left hand side in their backfield. I played middle linebacker so I lined up real close and ran into their backfield unmolested as the ball was snapped. The QB was turning around, looking down while he pitched the ball....to me :lol:

I've never seen someone's eyes get so comically wide. He gave me a perfect underhand toss as I ran about 19 yards for a touchdown. My coach laughed his ass off :lol: I felt sorry for their team, they were poorly coached...
