One play caused a momentum shift that gave West Greene a 49-24 victory over host Monessen in Class A Tri-County South action Friday.
The Greyhounds held a 24-14 lead in the third quarter at the time of the bizarre play.
With West Greene deep into Greyhounds territory, quarterback Gavin Scott attempted a pass inside the 5-yard line. Monessen cornerback Marquell Smith picked the pass off at the 3, but fumbled on the return. It was scooped up by Pioneers receiver Austin Crouse for a 4-yard touchdown.
“That was huge,” said West Greene coach Brian Hanson. “We had our fullback and our tight end sitting wide open and it was just a poor throw. (Smith) picked it off in the middle of the field but fortunately sometimes the ball does bounce your way.”
