Windsor Forest football gets win over Harlem with trick play in OT
In his first year as the Windsor Forest football coach, Willie "Mack" Martin is on a mission to build a winning culture within the Knight program. His team got its biggest win yet with a 29-28 overtime victory over visiting Harlem on Friday, Oct. 23. After Harlem junior Keaton Tillery started overtime with a rugged 15-yard touchdown run up the gut as the Bulldogs took a 28-21 lead, the pressure was on the Knight offense ― led by Martin's son, junior quarterback Jayden Martin. After a 6-yard loss on the first Knight overtime play, Martin dropped back and found Dwane Franklin across the middle for a 21-yard touchdown that brought Windsor Forest within a point. It was decision time for Mack Martin and the coach didn't hesitate to make the call to go for two and the win at Islands Stadium. The call was the "Reverse Special" and Jayden Martin handed the ball to Telly Riley who ran left before lateralling it back to Kamari Duncan as the senior rolled to his right and lofted a pass to Martin, who made an adjustment and spun around to his left to make the game-winning grab as the Knight sideline erupted.
