What started out as an ordinary extra point kick at a high school football game has turned into a viral sensation.

Midland Lee kicker Luis Aranda nailed a line-drive kick that would likely have not been good, except that it bounced off a referee’s head. The ball clipped the crossbar before sailing through the uprights.

There was a bit of confusion before the extra point was deemed good.

The referee was a bit shaken up, but not injured during the play.

The Post Game reports that Midland Lee defeated El Dorado 35-16.

Texas high school football has been in the news spotlight lately. A San Antonio high school football coach has admitted to ordering two of his players to deliberately hit a referee after the official allegedly used racial slurs. The referee who was struck denies the allegations. The coach has resigned.
