Game ends in 6-6 Tie...

.
The greatest football fake of the year didn't come from the mind of Bill Belichick or out of the Boise State Broncos playbook. It came from a middle school coach in Corpus Christi, Texas, and his eighth-grade quarterback.
During Saturday's middle school championship game against rival Wynn Seale, the Driscoll Middle School team pulled off one of the best trick plays you'll ever see. Late in the third quarter, with Driscoll down 6-0, the Wynn Seale defense was called for a 5-yard penalty which led to a respotting of the ball. Before the next snap, quarterback Jason Garza loudly told the center that the refs were marking off 5 more yards.   Garza then told the center to give him the ball - technically hiking it to start the play - and pretended to mark off the additional yardage. Once he was clear of the defensive line, Garza made a break for the end zone. 

Gaza admitted that he "didn't think it was going to work at all." Turns out it worked perfectly.

The 6-6 score after the missed extra point was the game's final.

"This is first time we ever tried it," says Rodriguez of the Penalty Play drawn up by assistant coach John Delosantos. "And it worked."
Before the video went web-viral,  the trick play has gotten notice from as far as 5039 miles away in an incredulous writeup on London's Daily Mail Website. Monday morning, Rodriguez and the school have fielded calls from CNN, Fox News and CBS' The Early Show.
