It was a big night for high school football in the state of Michigan. Governor Gretchen Whitmer finally relaxed her COVID-19 rules and allowed the boys to get back out on the field for some pigskin and that led to Rockford’s Sam Watts making what just might be the best play of the night across the state.
Fox 17’s Zach Harig was recording as Watts blasted a would-be receiver, knocked the ball into the air, picked it off and ran it back for a 76-yard touchdown in Rockford’s 16-13 overtime win over Jenison.
I need you guys to hit play on this video at least a dozen times. Feel the energy as Watts lights up the receiver. Feel the emotion as the crowd gasps, knowing they just saw a hit that’s going to go viral on Twitter once people wake up this morning.
Good for Watts, his team and football players across the state. We’re glad to see you guys back out on the field. As Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vince Williams said so eloquently this week, ” show up to play football and let’s kick ass and go about our day.”
Rockford junior Sam Watts made an INCREDIBLE play tonight in the overtime win over Jenison.
Trailing 3-0, he made this huge hit which led to a 76-yard interception return for a touchdown. 👀@FOX17Blitz pic.twitter.com/Z217R9Xj7v

How nice the tyrannical Michigan Governor waved her wand to let the serfs play their game why thank you your grace how generous to your subjects. Americans better wake the hell up and soon and reclaim their freedoms these orders are illegal and unconstitutional. I’m happy for the kids they should be playing its a special time of their life and its great to see. Now its up to the parents to get rid of these power hungry law breaking politicians so the kids don’t have to grow up under this type of oppression .
That’s a nice play! Finally, we are back to the high risk activity of football instead of worrying about the low risk activity of Covid avoidance.
