Isaiah DeLeon had never thrown a Hail Mary in his career. Kannon Webb had never run out for one. John Walsh said San Marcos hasn’t even walked through the play in practice this year.
But on the final play of the Rattlers’ Friday night contest at Lockhart, Walsh dialed up the play, DeLeon tossed up the prayer and Webb came down with it to secure San Marcos’ first win of the season, 26-25.
“I'm ecstatic that we won. I'm ecstatic that we didn't look good.” Walsh said. “We made terrible mistakes to not have it won already. But our kids — I said it last week, I saw something turn in the scrimmage of our kids believing and trying and really trusting. And I think they just believed and trusted that what we do works and that we put the right guys in the right spots. And Isaiah gave us a chance and Kannon made a play.”
