State championship games are where dreams are realized. For Penney High School sophomore LaTroy Harper, this dream just became a reality—and in turn made his opponents feel like they were living a nightmare with this pair of stellar grabs during the Missouri state championship game.
Harper’s tremendous one handed grab required a full extension of his body. At its highest point, it also looks like a reverse Air Jordan, which makes sense considering that the wide receiver also plays guard for the Penney High School basketball team.

— Mark J. Zinn (@MarkJZinn) November 28, 2015 The other play is just pure energy and swiftness as Harper grabs a ball destined to be an incomplete pass at the very last second only to face a few defenders.
That doesn’t matter much, however, as Harper uses his defender’s momentum to execute a spin move that sees him rushing towards the end zone, unscathed.
