There was still time for one play for Pahokee before half. Zach Allen skied for another grab in the endzone as time expired in the half.  Refs call it incomplete after a long delay. I just call it a great play either way.  Refs aren't sure shat happened so they are allowing one untimed down. 

After much discussion the pass goes incomplete and we are still at half. 8-7 Pahokee leads.
