El Dorado's Wilson bros. are super... super funny

Kane_wilson_cuts_back_inside El Dorado's Hurri-Kane Wilson (pictured left) had just scored the game-winning touchdown. It was a 25-yard scramble in overtime to send the Golden Hawks (12-1) into next week's Southwest Division championship game with a 23-17 victory against South Hills.

But his brother, defensive lineman Trace Wilson, was interested in asking Kane about another play. His touchdown pass with one minute left in regulation to tie score? No. Trace wanted to know why he three passes intercepted, one of which was returned for a touchdown and one that set up another.

Kane, who was hugging family members and friends at the time, paid no attention to his older brother. But Trace kept asking.

"They're brothers, man," El Dorado Coach Jeff Bailey said. "They have their ups and down. They love the heck out of each other and they are big competitors. Kind of like most teenage brothers."

It comes across that way.

"They are very competitive," continued Bailey, who laughed after I told him that Trace was asking Kane about the interceptions. "Even in practice. We make Kane do the scout team and Trace while give him a little extra business. They have a good time."

Trace is a senior, and as South Hills lined up for a 25-yard field goal with five second left in regulation, his football career began to flash before his eyes. Trace, who wants to continue to play football in college, doesn't know if he will get a chance to play after he graduates from high school. And had South Hills' field-goal attempt not gone wide right he would have blamed his brother.

"But at the end we came through like champions," said Kane, a junior. "After three picks, I drove down the field and made big plays. My offensive lineman stepped up and gave me time to throw and in overtime gave me an opening to score that touchdown. I loved it. It was the best game I've ever played in."

Kane_wilson "He almost killed us, but he came back and saved the day," Trace said. "He's the hero of this game."

Maybe this week he won't give him extra business in practice? Probably not. Because big bro still kept teasing little bro about the interceptions.

Kane (being mobbed by teammates in the picture on the right) eventually answered Trace.

With a stern, almost disgusted, look on his face, Kane said to Trace, "I wasn't intending to throw interceptions."

Honestly, though, who does?
