Hail Mary Football
Don Stancavish and John Fenimore
Playing in a New Year's Day bowl game is the pinnacle of success for college football players. Don Stancavish never played college football, but he vividly remembers the catch of his life as a high school wide receiver. He caught the game-winning touchdown pass against his school's arch rival with just seconds on the clock.
Twenty-four years later, the same ball he caught showed up in a package on his front porch. Don talks to Dick Gordon about what it felt like to have a piece of his youth handed back to him.
Don's former coach, John Fenimore, also joins in the conversation. He talks about highlights from the game and why he returned the football.
