Surprising Flushing claims quadruple-overtime victory

It was in the game plan, but they hadn't planned on using it like this.
Facing fourth and goal from the 8-yard line in quadruple overtime, Flushing quarterback Deon Frazier dropped back, rolled left to avoid pressure and lofted a jump ball to tight end Rumeal Williamson, who made the reception despite being double-teamed in the back corner of the end zone.
"We put the play in earlier in the week, but didn't run it until that point," Flushing coach Jim DeSantis said. "As soon as my assistant coach called the play, I knew we were going to score. The defense was coming up hard against the run, and we had a play-fake to get our tall guy deep in the end zone."
Wildecson Lincifort, who had 49 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 15 carries, added the two-point conversion, taking the ball off right tackle to give the Red Devils a 22-20 victory at Mckee/SI Tech on Sunday.
"This win's for Blake, most definitely. We're thinking about him all the time. We don't want to fail him, we want to win every game for him," Williamson said, referring to teammate Blake Hunt, a senior cornerback who suffered a broken neck while trying to make a tackle in a Sept. 1 scrimmage against Erasmus Hall.
"We're thinking about Blake all the time," Frazier added. "We're worried about him. We wish he was here with us."
