Paul Toth made one of the best catches, by far, that have been seen this season at Kinsmen Century Field.
It came with about seven minutes left in regulation time in a two-score ball game.
It was probably the best catch in all of last season, too.
The YRHS version of Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd, went completely airborne, and made the coolest catch of the day.
Only thing was it was the farthest thing from anyone's mind when the clock struck 0:00 to end the fourth quarter.
Toth and the YRHS Raiders played four quarters of football Friday afternoon with the Johnson Wildcats in a game that did not see a single touchdown.
Instead, both defences shut down the offenceslike a department store on the brink of foreclosure.
However, the Johnson special teams unit came packed with a kicker in the making of an Adam Vinatieri, put it to the YRHS Raiders with six field goals.
Almost all of them were right straight down the middle, and the best one of all came from 46 yards away from the goal post.
Johnson went on to an 18-0 victory.
"They had a hot kicker, absolutely," testified Raider head coach Roby Sharpe.
"It's not good" for us, he noted.
Colten Lee, a Gr. 12 student at Johnson Collegiate made two field goals at greater than 40-yards, said his coach.
Lee has played three years with the Johnson Wildcats and his accuracy is catching up to his skill, added the coach.
Johnson led 6-0 at the half and slowly piled on field goals. They entered the YRHS red zone a bunch of times but were denied entry into the end zone, either due to the defence, or due to a penalty call.
"For the most part, our defence played tough," added Sharpe.
"We had some guys that played real tough."
Last week, on a road trip to Regina, Sharpe's Yorkton Regional High School Raider Gridder seniors lost one offensive player by the time the game was over.
While in Regina, against the Hounds, YRHS lost Jake Prybylski, while Toth got hurt as well, said Sharpe.
Prybylski appears to be done for quite some time, arm in a sling.
"We lost Jake," said Sharpe.
"We have to get busy (now)," he said. "We're gonna work hard all week," he said of the upcoming week of practices.
Despite the loss, he acknowledged that even though Toth wasn't likely 100 per cent, he still managed to haul in two of the best passes seen here this season. He also made "a dozen solo tackles" on defence, Sharpe added.
He said he hopes to be able to find some way to get the ball into the end zone, noting "you can't win any games with zero points".
With one less player on the offence to give the ball too, Sharpe made note of the Indianapolis Colts offence, as well as the University of Regina Rams.
A report in Saturday's Regina Leader-Post notes that two of the Ram's quarterbacks, fifth-year Marc Mueller was said to suffer a season-ending shoulder injury in the team's first game of the season; backup QB and redshirt freshman Dylan Hart suffered an injury in the team's second game.
The L-P also states the team is forced to go with two kids who are coming directly out of high school.
"Things don't come easy. These kids are learning," states Sharpe of the situation at the Regional.
"We came into a hot kicker today," he reiterated.
YRHS is scheduled to tackle Weyburn this weekend.
"Obviously I know Weyburn quite well," insisted Sharpe. "I know the coaches quite well (and) the offence quite well."
