Confusion Abounds in Playoff Game:
What in the world is going on?

To set the scene, Lincoln County and Hawkinsville are playing at Lincolnton's Buddy Bufford Field in a 2006 Georgia Class A playoff game. LC is leading 21-7, and had just forced a punt by Hawkinsville from deep in its endzone. LC fair caught the ball at the Hawkinsville 32 with 18 seconds left in the second quarter. Then the fun began. Click on the video and see the confusion...

(Both teams are Red Devils, and their one and only previous meeting was in the 2003 finals.)

In high school and the NFL, a team is allowed a free kick after a fair catch. The last successful kick in the NFL was in the late 1960's, with a few unsuccessful attempts since. Lincoln County Head Coach Larry Campbell conjured this one up without any practice. He explained it to sophomore kicker Vance Tarver, who booted the 42-yard field goal for 3 points to extend the halftime lead to 24-7. The officials ackowledged it was in the rule book, but none of them, and probably no one else at the game, had ever since this happen in a game. Lincoln won the game 31-7 and three weeks later won their second consecutive state championship.
