LaTroy Harper, a sophomore for Penney High School in Hamilton, Mo., made some headlines in the Hornets 61-36 loss to Valle Catholic in Saturday's Class 1 state championship game.
The high-scoring affair opened up opportunities for big plays, and Harper did his best impression of an NFL receiving in the home of the St. Louis Rams to steal the show with a pair of incredible grabs.
First, this Odell Beckham-esque one-handed touchdown catch in the end zone.

It's hard to top that catch in terms of athleticism, but watch how Harper goes low on this next catch and maintains his speed to pull away from the defense. Harper still has a few years before he's making the big college decision, but if more clips like these go viral it would not be surprising to see an area school take a flyer on this Missouri athlete.
