SUWANEE, Ga. - In what many have called the most incredible ending to any football game at any level, Trinity University used 15 laterals as seven different players touched the ball to go 60 yards and score on the final play of the October 27, 2007 game against Millsaps College - capping an improbable and shocking 28-24 victory. The play - dubbed the Mississippi Miracle - has been named the Top Moment in the history of SCAC football. Top 20 Moments homepage
The play became an instant sensation on YouTube (It was recognized by USA Today as part of a decade-ending countdown of the top 10 Web sports sensations since 2000), and was named the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the 2007 NCAA Football season and Time Magazine's #1 Sports Moment of 2007. Head coach Steve Mohr, along with Tiger team members, traveled to Los Angeles in July 2008, as the Miracle Play was nominated for an ESPY Award on ESPN.
Trailing 24-22 with two seconds remaining and the ball at his own 40-yard line, Trinity quarterback Blake Barmore began the play with an innocent 10-yard completion across the middle to Shawn Thompson. But then, as fireworks were launched and the clocked turned to 0:00, Thompson began the sequence of laterals to Riley Curry. From there it went from Curry to Josh Hooten (an offensive lineman) to Michael Tomlin to Stephen Arnold (another offensive lineman) to Thompson to Brandon Maddux to Curry to Maddux to Barmore to Thompson to Curry to Tomlin to Hooten to Maddux to Curry, who rumbled 44 yards for the inexplicable score.
Russell Kramer, the SCAC Director of Communications/New Media, had a chance to catch up with the man who called the Mississippi Miracle, Trinity play-by-play announcer Jon Wiener as well as former Trinity student-athlete Riley Curry, who scored the game-winning touchdown 15 touches after the play began.

Throughout the 2010-2011 academic year, the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference will celebrate its 20th anniversary. A special logo commemorating the occasion will be used and the league office will also be releasing the Top 20 moments for each sport the conference sponsors (excluding men's and women's lacrosse).
