In a regular season game, Cordova was trailing late in the 4th quarter against Oak Ridge. A pass interference penalty was called against Oak Ridge at the buzzer. The following play, Francies caught a 29 yard Hail Mary pass, which resulted in a touchdown and a 29-28 victory over Oak Ridge, a team that Cordova had not beaten in several years.
