[Panther Thunder]

Two of the single greatest high school plays I ever personally witnessed came against Pburg in those epic battles Jones' and Howard's Senior season.

One was the stiff arm by Doug Howard on Joe Blackburn. I have NEVER seen a stiffarm like that on ANY level of football. He literally knocked Blackburn 5 yards off the ball and it was a critical play in the game.

The other was also a critical play and probably the single greatest testament to Jones' speed. Pburg had a perfect playcall for a HB Pass and Belfry was burnt! The WR was literally open by 20 yards. Once Jones recognized the pass he sprinted back as the ball was in the air to close the gap and swat the ball away at the very last second. Otherwise that was a sure TD.

I was in either 6th or 7th and went to that game with my dad that pass break up was the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Came from out of no where and was parallel to the ground to bat it away. Absolutely cazy play.
