One of Poland junior Damon Martin’s three defensive touchdowns last Friday ranks No. 1 in the MaxPreps Top 5 High School Football Plays of the Week.
On the play, Martin strips the ball away from a Madison ball carrier, causing it to bounce forward and deep into the end zone. Martin picks it up, breaks a tackle, then runs to the other side of the field before turning upfield and sprinting to the other end zone, with the help of stellar blocks from teammates Alex Tamey and Miguel Cyr.
Martin’s 107-yard touchdown return is the first play in this video. It is followed by his 54-yard interception and 41-yard fumble returns for scores.
Martin also ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns and threw a TD pass in Poland’s 48-25 win over the Bulldogs in Madison.
The rest of the MaxPreps list of top plays includes two from the state of Georgia and one apiece for Alabama and Texas. Watch all five plays here.
