Green – Chandler – “The State Championship Shuffle” Sanders never actually had to beat any other nominees for it, but creating the inspiration for this whole dang thing means he wins the honors for 2015. OK….so this GIF actually sparked the idea of this award. It’s a bunch of celebration, a bunch of personality, and that fun is one of the reasons we all love high school football so much.īefore we look at the field, let’s revisit our past winners: 2015 – Bozton Sanders – Centennial In its fifth year, we present the Best High School Football Celebration GIF Award field. Sport360AZ was there to capture a few glimpses of that this year. We like having that," Wilson said.Football players have personality. "We're in control and that's a great thing. But that was as close as Minnesota would get. It took barely 2 minutes for Minnesota to pull within 34-30 as Cousins connected with Kyle Rudolph for a 3-yard touchdown and another brilliant one-handed catch by the Vikings' tight end. Seattle seemed poised to add on, helped by a fake punt that Travis Homer took for 29 yards, but DK Metcalf fumbled and the Vikings recovered at their 28 with 9:34 left. Minnesota's rally started with Seattle's own blown coverage as Cousins hit Laquon Treadwell for a 58-yard TD. Three plays later, Wilson found Penny on a screen pass and Seattle had a 17-point lead. Cousins' pass for Stefon Diggs was intercepted by Tre Flowers, who may have gotten away with pass interference, but deflected the pass and made a juggling interception at the Minnesota 25. The first play of the fourth quarter was forgettable for the Vikings as well. Minnesota cornerback Xavier Rhodes appeared to think he had safety help over the top, but no one was there as Moore sprinted for his second TD catch of the season on the next-to-last play of the third quarter. The Seahawks were held to a field goal following Cook's fumble but took a 27-17 lead on their next possession when Moore ran free through the Vikings secondary and Wilson hit him in stride. It was the first of two critical turnovers that led to 10 points for Seattle. On Minnesota's first play of the next possession, Cook was stripped by Rasheem Green, and Bradley McDougald recovered. Seattle pulled even at 17 on Penny's 1-yard TD run. It was a wild second half featuring 40 combined points and four key turnovers - three by Minnesota. I think this is an opportunity we missed. "I think we have a football team that can go on the road in a tough environment and get a win. Jason Myers' 36-yard field goal with 21 seconds left provided the final margin for Seattle. on fourth-and-3 at the Vikings 42 with 2:31 left. Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins was 22 of 38 for 276 yards but couldn't connect with Irv Smith Jr. They're really coming on," Seattle offensive lineman Duane Brown said. That's our foundation and both of those guys are amazing backs. "Our running game has been a staple of our offense. The Vikings were giving up just 94 yards per game rushing. Seattle rushed for 218 yards, the most allowed by Minnesota this season. The key was the running of Penny and Chris Carson. He had a forgettable first-half moment trying to bat down a deflected pass only to watch Anthony Harris intercept the ball and return it for a touchdown. Wilson wasn't great, but he came up with key plays as Seattle won its fifth straight. This isn't the end of the world, we still have a lot of good football left to play." "We're 8-4 we have four games left, three division games. "Everybody acts like this is the end of the world, we lost one game tonight," Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer said. They lost star running back Dalvin Cook to a shoulder injury when he fumbled midway through the third quarter in what became a major turning point.Ĭook said he believes he should be able to play next week and took responsibility for the fumble. Minnesota (8-4) fell a game behind Green Bay in the NFC North and is only one game ahead of the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card race.
