It can happen in an instant, one painful or joyful instant, and East Aurora's Jeremiah Brown experienced both in short order Friday night. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound junior running back went from hero to goat to hero, and we're not talking acronym as in Greatest of All Time. The sequence was pretty special, though. Brown took a handoff on third-and-1 at the Larkin 32-yard line with time winding down and the visiting Tomcats barely clinging to a 20-14 lead at Elgin's Memorial Stadium. Clearing the line to gain an apparent first down, Brown was engulfed by a mass of bodies and coughed up the ball.
