Antioch was given the ball at the spot of the catch instead of the touchdown and one untimed down to convert. That one opportunity did not go the Sequoits’ way. UNREAL: 5A #1 Antioch has a miracle Hail Mary win taken away by an inadvertent whistle. Down 32-28 with only time for one play, Chance Verden catches a live bobble for what everyone believed to
