Video: Oakmont High Wins Game with 'Bouquet Toss' Play

Oakmont High School's football team won the game against Lincoln Friday with a trick play, known as a "bouquet toss" or "behind-the-back pass."

The play made it on ESPN's "SportsCenter," The Sacramento Bee reports, and one video has already had more than 5,000 views.

The Bee reports that the Oakmont Vikings were down by one point—43-42. Instead of going for a tie that would have resulted in overtime, they chose a risky play. 

The Bee described the final play: "Taylor Laird, the holder, took the snap and stood with his back to the oncoming rush. He flipped the ball over his head to Justin Holmes in the end zone for the two-point conversion. Holmes outleaped Lincoln defenders for the catch and the victory."
