    You know this was an important Vermont high school football game because they actually moved the soccer goals off the field.

    NHFS Rule 4-2 Section 1"the ball becomes dead when any legal free kick or scrimmage kick which is a grounded scorring attempt breaks the plane of R's goal line.
    Can't be sure from the video, but looks like the kid was in the end zone when he caught the kick.
    I think the officials screwed this up.

    @The Gizmo from Pismo: No, watch the replay - he was at least close to the EZ, if not in it (and the announcer said he was in it.) He dropped the ball at about the 10.

    Great camera work though, capturing him crumpling to the ground in realization of what he had done then panning over to the celebrating victors.

    Move Over Bartman would be a hilarious name for my new sitcom. Here's the pitch: Steve Bartman dodges death threats and bloodthirsty Cubs fans while raising three precocious, adopted girls and running a working farm.

    Ok, stupid question coming from someone who isn't aware of many of the more infrequently encountered rules of football (didn't know about the tie at the end of overtime either).

    Why is it bad to touch a missed field goal? Is the "oops" because the kid spiked it instead of going down or running it back, which in turn counts as a fumble?

    @phoenix6666: Catching a missed field goal on the fly makes it a live ball. Otherwise the ball is dead and game is over. The spike then becomes a fumble and the other team has the chance to pick it up and win.

    @phoenix6666: you can run back a missed fg if you catch it on the fly, Devin Hester did that a few years ago for the Bears.
