He was a foot away from being the homecoming hero.

St. Edmund quarterback Drew Brown accounted for 345 yards and five touchdowns against Pointe Coupee Central, but it was the final play of the game that Blue Jay fans will remember for a long time.

Trailing 50-46 with eight seconds left at the PCC 4, Brown made a vailant attempt to score with a dive at the pylon but was ruled out of bounds short of the end zone and the game was called without stopping the clock.
