Amazing , TD, conversion land California team a title
There have been plenty of amazing, acrobatic touchdowns across the nation this year. Yet a playoff game in California still might have turned in a 2010 first: A complete somersault en route to a game-winning end-zone celebration.
As reported in the Orange County Register, the player who pulled off the feat you see above is Garden Grove (Calif.) High running back Josh Webb, who took his airborne leap a bit farther than usual in the final two minutes of the Argos' CIF-SS Southern Section Final victory over Beckman (Calif.) High. Just before Webb hit the goal line, he went up to get above the last line of Beckman's defense. Webb made it, but not before being forced to take his acrobatic aerial act to a new level, completing a full somersault before landing on his back, pulling Garden Grove to within a point of the Patriots, at 30-29.
"My coach is like, 'We're giving you the ball, get over the top,'" Webb told the Register. "I wasn't going to let anyone stop me."
