The way he recites the play, it’s clear the memory is always in the back of his mind.
“Eighteen seconds left, on the 20-yard line, I throw a post and the corner undercut it,” Deacon Hill says of the final play of last season’s CIF-SS Division 8 championship game. “I’ve got something to prove.”
It didn’t matter that Hill — a 2021 quarterback recruit who’s committed to the University of Wisconsin — had scored a go-ahead touchdown on the previous drive. Or that he’d made a number of scoring plays earlier in the game. To Hill, the loss matters.
