These are two mistakes a high schooler should not make.

It's third and 26 or something. So once you let very many seconds run off the game clock, if you spike it, all you can do is try a 58 FG on fourth. Yea, better than the disorganized hail Mary they tried. I agree.
If you call TO, and run a third down play, you have to get OOB. You should be able to pick up 5+ yards or throw the ball away and then attempt the FG. Better than what they did.
But it seems the players should have been coached to not need to call TO in that situation.
Get up to the line, use the whole field to pick up ten yards and then call final TO. Or possibly QB run for a few yards, if he doesn't see a pass he likes. Or throw it away and try 58 FG.
