Wisconsin football player uses defender's back to make a spectacular catch

The Ashwaubenon (Wis.) High School football team produced a spectacular highlight on Saturday. Quarterback James Morgan launched a beautiful 40-yard pass downfield, where his wide receiver was under tight coverage. Sam Wisneski turns mid-stride, wraps his arms around the defender, and uses the other guy's back to catch the ball.

The fact that Morgan, a Bowling Green commit, happened to place it right where Wisneski needed it is amazing. Wisneski even managed to keep his feet in bounds, transfer the ball to his other hand, and cover the last 15-or-so yards to the endzone for a 54-yard touchdown.

It looks like a ref threw a flag on the play, but the touchdown stood. It brought Aswaubenon within a touchdown, and it tied the game before the half. The second half was a blowout, though, with Superior High School claiming a 56-35 victory and a spot in the next round of the playoffs.
