By now, most in Washington have seen the play by Yelm's Kyler Ronquillo in the 2022 Class 3A championship game where he turned defeat into victory by grabbing a near-interception out of the grasp of a defender and turning it into a game-winning touchdown against Eastside Catholic.

Eatonville's Jacob Simons did his best to recreate that moment last week against Clover Park.

He ripped a would-be-interception out of the defensive back's hands to complete a 65-yard touchdown reception. It was voted the top Week 3 play around the state of Washington.

It received 71.9% of the vote, edging out Nash McLean's wiggling touchdown for Freeman, which received 25.9%.
