In Hall-Putnam County’s 18-15 win over Sherrard on Friday, the Red Devils turned the ball over on downs with 2 minutes left, trailing by three points.
“When we lost it on fourth down there, I was kicking myself on the sidelines,” Hall offensive coordinator Mike Filippini said. “I was like, ‘Man, if we don’t get the ball back …’ The screen was there.”
Luckily for Filippini and the Red Devils, they got the ball back with 1:34 left.
After an incomplete pass on first down, Filippini called a screen pass he’d considered earlier in the game.
Senior running back Aiden Redcliff caught the pass from Dylan Glynn and took off for a 59-yard touchdown with 1:16 left to give Hall the 18-15 lead.
The Red Devils ran the same screen out of the same formation for a 48-yard TD in Week 3’s 18-6 win ove
