Hebron High School of Carrollton, Texas faced off against Allen High School of Allen, Texas. Hebron pulled off an elaborate trick play. Like a good stage magician, the team distracted its opponents by drawing their attention to the center of the field.
Meanwhile, one player ambled over to the sideline, apparently to talk to a coach. But he remained inbound and thus still in play. Hebron kicked the ball down the field, which was recovered by the player near the sideline.
Referees called the play an illegal shift, so it wasn’t accepted. But it was a commendably clever attempt.

Retired high school and college football official of 40 seasons here. Some coaches are always trying to game the game, coming up with trick plays like this. Almost all of them are illegal for one reason or another. Most officials are wise to this and flag them.
