Anything was possible and keep giving 100 percent effort.
There was a high school football game against a run heavy opponent. They took the second half kick off and drove down the field and used 8 or 9 minutes of the 12 minute 3rd quarter. With a touchdown, they went up 30-7, IIRC.
We managed to tie it at 30 late in the fourth, but then gave up an easy TD and lost.
