MOUNT VERNON — Mountaineers head coach Tom Cox swore he was going to call the post on the next play, but his star receiver ran the route anyways.
Reigning state runner-up Cassville had just scored a touchdown and missed the extra point with 2:12 to tie the game at 13.
Mount Vernon was driving down the field when Cox called for his receiver to run a hitch.
Rafe Darter, the Mountaineers' star senior receiver, ran the hitch but Cassville brought a linebacker over — so Darter improvised.
New Mountaineers quarterback Mason Ballay is always looking for Darter.
