It's one thing to have an amazing ending to a high school football game.

But two?

It's almost too hard to believe how Webster Groves (Mo.) ended its Missouri 5A quarterfinal game with St. Louis (Chaminade) last Saturday.

Chaminade, down by eight in the final minute, scored a TD - but missed on a game-tying two-point conversion. No worry, it was able to recover a downfield onside kick - and then kick a hard-to-believe 48-yard FG in the final seconds.

For the victory ... not quite. Check out this video to see how it all unfolded.

They're calling it "The Miracle at Moss" in Webster Groves. That's Demetrius Robinson hauling in an 80-yard TD pass from Derrick Dilworth with 6.5 seconds left.

Check out the security guy, who congratulates Robinson in the end zone, then quietly walks away from a mob scene.

Of course if you want to check out the greatest High School football playoff game ending, re-visit the Plano East-Tyler game from 1994 - the one with five TDs in the final three minutes.

The video, as good for the action as the commentary ("I done wet my britches" is among a dozen classic lines) has been viewed over a million times.
