The play was designed for Antyjuan Rodriguez to catch a touchdown, and although it didn’t go down exactly how it drawn up the end result was still the same, 6 points on the board for Winter Springs via Rodriguez.
"Our quarterback had to go to the second option so when the ball didn’t go to Antyjuan," head coach Rodney Brewington says, "He just has a knack for the ball, we always teach our receivers when the ball is in the air trail the ball, something good can happen."
Antyjuan Rodriguez added, "I kind of got bumped on my route a little bit and I just continued to run across the field and the ball was thrown and I just saw it and ran to it, the ball was in the air and I jumped up grabbed it and tried to hold on it."
That touchdown grab by the sophomore athlete tied the game at 28 in the Bears spring game against Lake Brantley this past Friday. And the score proved to be the difference as the contest ended in a tie all knotted up at 28.
