BARBERTON, OH- One of the most incredible things to witness is greatness and It was displayed on a brisk night at Ruby Sharkey Stadium between the Barberton Magics hosting the Aurora Greenmen, Aurora came in the game holding a (7-1) record and looking to lock in a top spot in conference and into the playoffs.

As the game went on it was clear that Barberton had other plans for Aurora, as both teams battled early in the first half of play looking like Aurora was the stronger team also more talented but Barberton is coached by the schools all-time winningest coach Tony Gotto.

With 1:03 left in the game the score was 35-33 in double overtime with Aurora in the lead but Barberton was driving down the field in what would be the likely winning drive when Barberton QB1 Dominic Wilson tosses a 40 yard strike to senior wide receiver Angelo Harper.

Initially those who were watching may have thought is was on its target but to have It intercepted by Dylan Crasi a senior wide receiver/defensive back who leaped in the air and high pointed the pass but in the act he did a somersault back-flip landed on the back of his head but managed to hold on the the ball in the process denying Barberton a good little over mid-season victory.
"I just went up for the ball, I knew it was coming and made a play nothing special," replied Crasi when asked about the incredible catch.

At first look he seemed to maybe be hurt due to the impact of the collision with the ground but as when re-watched the video it was the most incredible interception I had seen covering high school football, Coach Mihalik agreed saying, "Dylan Crasi made a great play at the end there." Before the night was over the play had made SportsCenter top 10 the next couple days it was viral on tik tok and other social media platforms.
One of the most athletic catches I've seen covering Ohio High School Football!
