Was this the best football play of the year?

High school football is as American as apple pie, right? Well, some of that platitude may be under fire after a Canadian high school won an award honoring the year's best football play, handed out by State Farm Insurance and voted on by fans.

Yet while the game-winning play from Holy Trinity Catholic (Ont.) High above is impressive, it's incredibly difficult to actually justify it being the best play submitted to the contest, let alone the best of the entire season from across the country continent. Both the second place winner from Sugar Land Stephen F. Austin (Texas) High -- which we hadn't even seen before -- and the third place winner from Winter Park -- which we had seen and featured during the season -- were far more spectacular than their counterparts from north of the border. At least they were if you ask our opinion.

So, now the real question: Do you agree with the results? And what about other amazing plays like this, this and this?

Let us know, because we're not at all convinced State Farm had this one right. They may be like a good neighbor, but we're not sure our neighbors are cracked up to be accurate judges of prep football wonderment, either.
