Week 1 of the college football season is in the books (with Ole Miss and Louisville on tonight, albeit without Lane Kiffin), we take our second look around high school football for notable plays and performances.
This week's features some special teams trickery, a WILD interception, the end of one the country's most impressive win streaks, and a small town's touching tribute to allen soliders in Afghanistan.

WREN HS (SC) defensive back Patrick Williams makes a CRAZY interception

Included two angles to fully appreciate it!

Just because...
This certainly isn't a high school game, and I have no idea where it came from, but it deserves to be included because I have watched it at least 15 times.
