<P>23 years later, FCHS player recalls the heartbreaking game they lost

Despite losing the momentum,

we drove all the way down the field in under two minutes (I caught about

a 20-yard pass on fourth and long to keep the drive going) and had an

apparent touchdown catch taken away by the field judge.

One referee signaled touchdown

on a great catch in the back of the end zone by Jay Coley; another referee

came in and overruled the call when the ball was jarred loose after Jay

came down in bounds.

I can't tell you how many

times I've relived that game in the past 23 years. I almost cried

when I read your story and all those memories came flooding back into

my 40-year-old soul.

Once again, thanks for remembering

the Tigers.
