Phil-The model is the same as the in-game WP model I use. I describe it here.

To adapt it for a HS game I'd need a very large play by play database for those types of games. I can say, just from testing the WP site on college games this year, the pros and college are significantly different. HS ball would be even more so.

In case anyone was wondering, you'll notice two "cliffs" on the graph of the AFC game. The first was the broken coverage 65-yd TD pass to make the score 10-0. The second cliff is the Polamalu interception to seal the game. Although the TD pass looks almost as big, it's really not. The subsequent kickoff gave Baltimore poor field position, which contributes to the sharp decline in WP.

A huge play, no doubt, but it wasn't as big as the interception.
