I saw this on the local news. Middle School and High School football are a big deal in Texas, but this play is good enough that it might make national news as well:

On the news they interviewed a number of people about whether this is legal or not. The men (including several refs) all said it was perfectly fine; there is no rule against it. At least one woman they asked was very troubled by it, even when told it was allowed under the rules. I think this might be one of those cases which demonstrates the different perspectives men and women have about justice.
Either way a pretty funny and smart play.
