We'll admit it. This is just the latest - but it could be the greatest - high school football highlight this season.

You gotta see it!

Will Briscoe of Baton Rouge (La.) Central High completed a behind-the-back pass for a two-point conversion in a recent victory over Zachary.

We know what you're thinking - another act of poor sportsmanship.

The point can be debated, but realize this:

The pass did take place in what would become a 58-0 victory, but it happened in the first quarter, when Central was up, just 13-0.

The coach of Zachary, Neil Weiner, is a former Central assistant. And he had no issues with the play in this game story by Charles Salzer in The Advocate newspaper.

Briscoe, who scored on a 1-yard run before the two-point pass, finished the game by throwing for 266 yards and five touchdown passes - all coming with a more conventional throwing motion.

GOT ONE BETTER? We would love to see it, send it to Ideas@RivalsHigh.com
