Thompson scored 10 points in 18 seconds to pull out the improbable victory
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Thompson High School in Alabama came away with one of the most incredible victories during the Alabama Class 7A state title game against Auburn High School. Trailing by nine points with just over one minute to go in the game, Thompson did the impossible.
Auburn forced Thompson to turn the ball over on downs, and they managed to run the clock down to 30 seconds before punting the ball on fourth down. However, Thompson’s Korbyn Williams blocked the punt, scooped the football up, and returned it for a touchdown.
