Play reviewed, ruled an interception

The unusual play during the Richmond-Lee County game was reviewed by the statistical crew and ruled as an interception for Antoine Bostick.

According to Shannon Brigman, a member of the statistical crew, Lee County quarterback Carson Wilson was at the 18-yard line when he attempted to pitch the ball out to running back Omar Murriell. Bostick was at the 19, when he grabbed the ball in the air, thus making the play an interception.
