On Tuesday, July 1, 2008, the "Mississippi Miracle" Trinity play was nominated for the 2008 ESPY Award for "Best Play". All ESPY Award winners are selected by on-line fan voting that was complete on July 12th ... THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! The Tiger players, coaches, announcer, cameraman and webcast engineer are all headed out to Hollywood for the awards show taping on July 16th. Be sure to watch ESPN on Sunday, July 20th to see the Awards show. We're hoping for just one more "miracle" ... THE ESPY!!

In a game that was about as evenly matched as it could be, Trinity University's football team scored a game-winning touchdown on the final play to capture a 28-24 victory over Millsaps College. In a play that began on Trinity's 39 yard line with only 2 seconds remaining on the clock, seven different Trinity players touched the ball with a total of 15 laterals. The victory kept Trinity's SCAC title and playoff hopes alive for the 2007 season.

While it was Riley Curry (WR) who finally crossed the goal line 62 seconds after the play began, other players who handled the ball included Stephen Arnold (C), Blake Barmore (QB), Shawn Thompson (WR), Josh Hooten (G), Michael Tomlin (WR), and Brandon Maddux (TE). The audio call was done by Jonny Wiener (play-by-play) and Justin Thompson (color), also students at Trinity. Video camera by Bill Swint and computer recording/transmission by Bob Edwards assisted by Scott Baer.

Shortly after the game, ESPN heard about the miraculous play and requested a copy of the video. The PAWS broadcast team uploaded the video (with play-by-play audio) to ESPN and it appeared later that same evening on Sports Center. The incredible play has captured the attention of sports fans world-wide and has been hailed as the greatest football play in history. The story & video have attracted media attention from San Antonio newspaper and TV reporters, ABC, NBC, CNN, Yahoo! Sports, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, The New York Times, and hundreds of other media outlets.

In their December 24, 2007 issue, Trinity's "Miracle in Mississippi" play was chosen as Time Magazine's "#1 Top Sports Moment of 2007". To see the announcement as it appeared in print and a link to link to Time.com, Click Here.

A BASEBALL MIRACLE!
On Sunday, April 27, 2008, the Trinity Tigers Baseball team defeated Millsaps for the SCAC Championship in Danville, Kentucky. Trinity was down 5-2 going into the bottom of the ninth. The Tigers scored two runs on hits during the inning, but still trailed 5-4. With two outs, two men on, and the count 2-2 (including a tip foul and lost bat), junior Stosh Hoover slapped the ball to the outfield and both runners scored, including a crazy play at the plate. As a result, Trinity won the SCAC championship & advanced to the NCAA tournament. It was "Trinity Miracle, Part Two"!!
