High school team pulls off the most ridiculous walk-off 2-point conversion

Football fans were treated to one of the wildest finishes of the year during a marquee high school game between two Alabama programs, Mountain Brook and Homewood.

Despite entering the game as favorites, the Homewood Patriots (ranked 18th in the state) found themselves in a dogfight against the Mountain Brook Spartans (24th in the state). The two teams were tied at 17 at the end of regulation.

Homewood struck first in overtime with a touchdown to take a 24-17 lead. Mountain Brook answered with a TD of their own. Rather than go for the tie, the Spartans wanted to end things with a two-point conversion.

Disaster struck for Mountain Brook as quarterback Cayden Hofbauer couldn’t haul in a bad snap from the center. Hofbauer had to chase the ball back at the 25 and ended up at the 40 as Homewood defenders swarmed him near midfield. Hofbauer uncorked a Hail Mary throw that somehow landed in his teammate’s hands in the end zone.
