What coach with a half an ounce of sense would kick it to Timmons with 14 seconds left. :HitWall:

I wish I could have saw this game!

They actually kicked it away from him. I wasnt at the game but was told someone else picked it up and tossed it to him.

wow, sounds like the best game of the night...

anderson kicked onside all night why kick it deep with so little time left???

Looked like they kicked away from him. The other guy did get it and flip it to him. Tough Loss. He's the real deal.

wow...heartbreaker for Anderson Co.

Wow what a Game!!! Both team played there butts off. Not much Def. from both team. Ryan Timmon is Mr. FOOTBALL!!!!

Good Game. I will admit as soon as Anderson Kicked the FG for the lead. I thought to myself if I was coaching I would kick it out of bounds. I know they kicked away from Timmons, but County has to many weapons to kick too.

with the kids Trinity has i dont think he will get mr football

As it has already been said, Anderson didnt kick to Timmons. The kid from Franklin that picked the ball up off the squib/onside literally ran backwards to give the ball to Timmons.

After reversing field four or five times, he finally made it to the endzone.

Some can play Saturday morning quarterback all they want, but as the bumper sticker reads, sometimes "sh!t happens". That's just freakish guys and that's just all you can say.

The Flying Circus lives to play again. Timmons is the ringmaster with the incredible numbers he is putting up.

Wow. Wish I could have seen this. Sounds like it was amazing!!!

FRANKFORT — Ryan Timmons has made a lot of great plays for Franklin County in his career, but he topped them all on Friday night.

After Anderson County's Joe Rose kicked a 24-yard field goal to give the Bearcats a 52-50 lead with 14 seconds left, Franklin County's unbeaten season looked doomed.

Timmons had other ideas.

"I had to score," he said later. "And I knew I would."

On the ensuing kickoff, Lorenzo McCaskell had trouble picking up the ball, but finally got it and shoveled it to Timmons at the 20-yard line.

Timmons then did his magic. He veered to his right to avoid the first wave of defenders, cut back to the left, found lots of running room and sped his way to the end zone as time expired, giving the Flyers a 56-52 victory.

Franklin County's fans flooded the field in celebration, while Anderson County's players dropped to the ground in disappointment.

Flyers Coach Chris Tracy said Timmons' 80-yard game-winning return was "absolutely, 100 percent, the best play he's ever made.

"That's why he's the best player in the state.

"You can tell people what he does, but unless they see it for themselves, see it live, they can't appreciate it."

Anderson County Coach Mark Peach agreed.

"What can you say? I know (Trinity star) James Quick gets a lot of ink, but he can't be any better than Ryan Timmons. There's no way. To me, he's Mr. Football.

"I've gotta see James Quick. If he's that good, we should give out two Mr. Footballs."

Timmons' electrifying return capped another Franklin County shootout victory.

The Flyers were averaging 60 points going into the Class 5A district showdown with Anderson County, but their defense has been shaky. Last week Franklin County outgunned Woodford County 76-55.

Anderson County was almost the last team standing Friday night.

Sophomore QB Zach Carmichael had a big night. He threw for 288 yards and four touchdowns, and had three 1-yard runs for scores. Ross Cox and Granville Hayes each had more than 100 yards receiving.

Hayes and Dusty Puckett had two TD catches apiece.

"I couldn't be more proud of my guys. We gave a valiant effort," Peach said. "If (Franklin County) is touted as the best in the east in 5A, we're right there with them."

Franklin County countered with its own offensive arsenal. Senior QB Logan Woodside threw for 300 yards and five TDs. (Woodside also had two key interceptions on defense.)

Greg Maupin caught three passes for 154 yards and two TDs, and ran for a score. McCaskell ran for a TD and caught a TD pass.

Timmons had only four net yards in the first half, but he came through with big numbers in the second half.

He caught a 29-yard TD strike from Woodside, and turned a bubble screen into a 43-yard TD. He added a two-point conversion run to that second score, giving the Flyers a 50-49 lead with two minutes left.

Anderson County answered with Rose's field goal to take a 52-50 lead with only 14 seconds left.

For Timmons, that was just enough time to add to his Franklin County legend.
