The momentum swung as continuously as a pendulum on Friday night at the Dub Farris Athletic Complex in San Antonio. But at the end, it stopped for the O’Connor Panthers.
The Panthers (11-0) won their first-round matchup against Clemens 34-24 to advance in the Texas UIL Class 6A Division I playoffs. The Buffaloes (8-3), who finished the season 1-3 in their last four games, were once down 14 but never gave up and made spectacular plays.
The first of those was after Clemens defensive back Darius Vandyke returned a punt into Panthers territory with just over a minute before halftime. Down 17-3, the Buffaloes were looking for just about anything to get momentum onto their side. They found that, when quarterback Jordan Burelson hit a fade route to senior receiver Tommy Bush. The officials signaled touchdown, but video shown in the tweet below proves otherwise.
Tommy Bush just caught a great pass. But... he was out. Too bad @texashsfootball doesn’t have replay. 17-10 after a half played here in San Antonio pic.twitter.com/lcujKKRcZv

Regardless, there are no replays in high school football. Panthers coach David Malesky said as much after the game, even if he wishes it could have been changed.
