LONGVIEW, Texas -- It was crunch time and Gilmer (Texas) High School needed a stop. Holding on to a seven-point lead, one which the Buckeyes earned by coming back from a 17-point deficit, they needed to hold Henderson (Texas) High School and its talented quarterback, Patrick "Monsta" Brown, out of the end zone with the Lions in Gilmer territory.
During a timeout before second down, Gilmer outside linebacker Josh Walker, a 2014 Texas A&M commit, let his coaches know he was ready to answer the bell.
"I went to the sideline when they called timeout and I told my position coach 'Just count on me. Put me in a position to make a play and I'll make it,'" Walker said. "And we kind of knew the situation we were in and what they were doing. I told him I'll make a play."
