ON CAMPUS — School is back in session, which means football fields are lighting up every Friday night for the return of America’s favorite sport.
But before we hit the gridiron full-time, let’s take a look back at quite possibly the greatest baseball catch of the year — at any level — before we examine a Georgia lineman who showed off his ’80’s-inspired dance moves this weekend.
Here are the Great Clips of the Week.
Best. Catch. Ever.
You’ve seen great catches in Major League Baseball, college baseball and even the Little League.
The Junior League World Series has them all beat.
Pennsylvania’s Jack Regeyne flipped up and over the wall — and held on — during a Junior League World Series game Sunday afternoon against Chinese Taipei.
😳 😳 😳

The catch was so good, nobody could decide if it was legal or not.
According to the Detroit Free-Press, the Chinese Taipei manager argued the call, the umpires conversed and they overturned the out to a home run.
After the Chinese Taipei batter rounded the bases, the umpires conversed again amid a rain of boos — and reversed the call again, back to an out.
Lineman does ‘the worm’ to force offside penalty
No, “the worm” — the elaborate dance move that was all the rage in the 1980s — is not coming back in style.
But that won’t stop a Georgia offensive lineman from using it to gain a competitive advantage.
Glynn Academy senior Joshua Anderson used the once-popular dance move to draw an offside penalty in a high school football game against Benedictine in Friday’s season opener.
The weirdest part? It worked.
WORST FOOTBALL PLAY OF ALL TIME. Glynn Academy tries to pull Benedictine offsides by doing the worm....see for yourself. @WJCLNewspic.twitter.com/cU97qcQbmk

You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.
Get it, bro?
Remember when Jazz rookie and fan-favorite Donovan Mitchell received some University of Utah gear that he wore during the Utah Jazz Summer League?
In the interest of fairness, he also posted about a rival (or not-rival, depending on who you ask) when a certain school from 45 minutes south of Salt Lake City also sent him some swag.
Big shoutout to @BYU@BYUfootball for the gear best of luck this season! Will definitely try to catch a game🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/04fhzz5LiF

And then Mitchell, a former Louisville star, responded.
Starting to understand the @Utah_Football and the @BYUfootball rivalry 😳👀
