A wild 2-point conversion with under a minute to play gives Bullitt East its first-ever Kentucky high school football championship.

With :53 seconds to play, the Chargers closed to within 27-26 of Male High when Travis Eagan connected with Camron Brogan on a touchdown pass. That set-up the team’s 2-point conversion attempt that reminded fans of the “Philly Special” run by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII.

Watch it below:
