jose. typically that time of the year when you say, how much food i did just eat in the last 48 hours? hope you had a great holiday as we continue this christmas week. >> i have no guilt about what i ate yesterday. speaking of the end of the year, we have a look back now to 20 years ago. it's when a high school quarterback had to make a did e decision, one he believes was not the right call. >> santa cruz. say the same and certain scenes, certain sports come immediately to mind. football though is not one of them and not without good reason. >> we had a reputation, i wouldn't say was for good football. >> in 1996, wally was the

quarterback of the harbor high school pirates. a team the year before won just a single game. not wally's year. >> we shocked the city and rivals and other teams. >> the game of their life. >> undefeated and playing for the league championship against their bigger, stronger rival, the also undefeated sarn lorenzo valley cougars. it was a rainy, sloppy affair. the end of regulation was tied 14-14. back in '96, there were no rules for overtime in high school football so that was it. the teams were co-champions, except the referee offered to stick around if the teams wanted to keep playing until there was a winner. just for bragging rights. the ref turned to the harbor coach who turned to wally. >> i turned to my coach and said

let's take the tie. >> it was a decision wally had five seconds to make and 20 years to live with. san lorenzo valley players, never missing a chance to call him out for quitting on his team. >> wally and i played together two years after high school. we still raz him for it every day. >> wally says it never bugged him too much until a facebook post two years ago brought up the game once again. wally looked back as a 37-year-old man and didn't like what he saw his younger self do. >> it bothered me enough where i wrote a letter to my teammates and said that day, i realize i'm not ashamed of quitting, but not asking you guys or looking to you and saying i don't want to do this, but you saying i got you. >> you can't fix a mistake alone 20 years later, or can you?

the past two years wally has been recruiting as many players of that game to hold a rematch and settle a score. his old coach even flew in from washington state. >> 100%. when he said they're in, whatever i can do. >> the record books wouldn't change, but one man's story might. >> we do things that aren't in our character sometimes. how often do we get to maybe correct it or maybe do it again? >> so this past saturday, the pads went back on and the 1996 pirates and cougars went out to battle one last time. it wasn't the prettiest of games, but it certainly wasn't for a lack of effort or intensi intensity. and after four quarters, it was tied again. except this time you can bet

they played overtime. san lorenzo finally scoring a touchdown and harbor unable to answer. it's a loss on the scoreboard that wally considers a win in life. he says there's a saying in football about leaving everything on the field. for wally, at least on this day, that includes regrets. in santa cruz, garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> that's incredible. they got the same decision again 20 years later. talk about a holiday celebration out of this world. >> the crew aboard the international space station sent a holiday greeting back to earth before they chowed down on their christmas eat. >> we are going to eat very well up here in christmas. of course, we are all going to miss our family members, but
