12 overtimes later, game ends

Prep football: Friday night lights burned well into Saturday morning
before Rodrigo Carreon kicked a 19-yard field goal to give Jacksonville an
84-81 victory over Nacogdoches in a Texas high school football game
decided in the 12th period of overtime.

The game possibly set a national record. The National High School Record
Book lists two games that went nine overtimes. The first was a 1977 game
iin Detroit with Southeastern defeating Northeastern 42-36.  That game
lasted 3 hours, 43 minutes.  The record was tied in 2006 in Washington
when Bothell beat Pasco 43-40.

Kinda adds a whole new dimension to "Friday Night Lights", huh Moscow?
