SAN DIEGO, CA — A local protestant quarterback in a competitive amateur spring league made waves this week after throwing a beautiful Hail Christ Alone pass for the game-winning touchdown.

The amateur football league is small but growing, and athletes like protestant quarterback Luther Calvin are raising eyebrows by making huge pro-level plays, like his patented Hail Christ Alone, which he used in yesterday's game to put his team ahead for the win, 20-17, at the last second. Crowds were amazed when they saw the new play in action.

"I've never seen anything like that," said one fan. "The play worked so perfectly, it was like they spoke directly to the Almighty Himself and then He responded without the need for any other mediator."

The Hail Christ Alone is a long pass, like the Hail Mary, but instead of praying to a creature made by God, the team puts its trust in Christ alone and then throws the ball a long distance and hopes for the best.

Luther's team trailed 17-14 with 5 seconds left on the clock. They had only one recourse.

"I just did what I always do," the quarterback said after the game. "I just put my faith alone in Christ alone, by Grace alone, according to Scripture alone, and all to God's glory alone. It looks like He providentially gave us the victory."

At publishing time, Calvin had professed strong faith that the team was predestined to win next week as well.
