Late in the fourth quarter, the New York Giants wide receiver caught a long pass from quarterback Eli Manning, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qCAQsEwyCcg\">holding the ball against his helmet to complete the catch.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was the pivotal play for the Giants in their Super Bowl upset of the Patriots. It is considered one of the top plays in NFL history.<\/p>\n<p>Copeland did the reverse of that play, ripping a would-be interception off an opponent&#8217;s helmet for his own big play.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, Copeland plays for Parkview Christian (Lincoln, Nebraska). Why is that ironic? Their team name is the Patriots.<\/p>\n<p>The play came on Friday when Copeland wrestled control of a ball that was pinned against the defensive back&#8217;s facemask. Copeland&#8217;s body control and strength managed to jar the bar free before the defensive back was able to land on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f6a8.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udea8\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/>CATCH OF THE YEAR NOMINEE<img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f6a8.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udea8\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Parkview Christian&#8217;s Thomas Copeland goes over the defender in the end zone and rips the ball away for a touchdown in the State Semifinals.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PCSPatriots?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PCSPatriots<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/1011_News?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@1011_News<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/nebpreps?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#nebpreps<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SCTop10?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SCTop10<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IaP5htpViv\">pic.twitter.com\/IaP5htpViv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin Sjuts (@kevinsjuts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kevinsjuts\/status\/1723110986624733667?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It all happened so fast for Copeland, making for an incredible touchdown catch for Parkview (and some great camera work from 10\/11 sports reporter Kevin Sjuts.
