Munsoned vs. last MEN standing: Wednesday, October 1st 7:00

lonniebaxt — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:43:12 +0000

We are in week 2 of the flag football season, and there have been some intriguing games. Munsoned vs. last MEN standing was a great matchup and was a good game all until the last few minutes of the game. Both teams got off to early starts scoring off of a pick six(Munsoned) and a touchdown pass(last MEN standing). Munsoned responded by getting a highlight reel touchdown catch soon after. The receiver was back pedaling amid great coverage, tipped the ball, and as he was falling, made the miraculous catch to make the score 13-7. Later in the game, LMS handed the ball off to their speedster(He can probably run the 40 in 4 seconds flat) who turned the corner and attempted a dive into the endzone, but his flag landed on the 2 yard line. They scored 1 play after on a run up the middle to make the game even at 13-all. The second half is where the game became out of reach. Munsoned went for the touchdown on 4th down and got it. One of the weirdest successful throws I have seen all year was done by their QB who kind of flipped it high in the air, on the run, to his receiver to the right (20-13). LMS knew they had to play smart to make a comeback, but that was negated when Munsoned returned another interception for the score (26-13). To add insult to injury, Munsoned scored one last time towards the end of the game.

Final Score: 32-13 in favor of Munsoned

Play(s) of the game: Receiver for Munsoned makes circus catch for the score, and LMS’s speedster runs his way to the 2 yard line leading to an eventual score.

The Donks vs. Shenanigans: Thursday, September 25th 6:00

lonniebaxt — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:56:32 +0000

The season has officially started and The Donks and Shenanigans provided some excitement. I came in thinking that this game was going to be a shootout, but the defenses were dominating early and often. Either the Shenanigans got off to a good start or The Donks to a bad start, but the first drive ended with a hard-to-watch safety(0-2). At this point, the game had the potential to be lopsided in favor of Shenanigans, but in the words of Lee Corso, “Not so fast my friend.” The Donks responded later in the half with an interception return for a score and a successful 1 point conversion(7-2). Nothing could have gone more wrong for Shenanigans when they had a play that may have resulted in a first down called back for an illegal forward pass 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. The score at half was 7-2. The Donks went into the break feeling confident in their defense and this allowed for them to come out in the second half and work on their offense. They converted on a 40 yard bomb to go up 14-2 over Shenanigans. Shenanigans responded to adversity with 2 quick scores within the last two minutes of the game. They connected on a touchdown pass and successfully converted on the 3 point conversion(14-11). They then got the ball back with approximately 40 seconds on the clock and scored a last second touchdown for the victory!(14-18). The referees said the score was 23-14, but I believe that it was 18-14 in favor of the cardiac kids of Shenanigans.

Final Score: 18-14(23-14 according to refs)

Interesting Stat: 6 total interceptions, 1(almost 2) returned for scores

Play of the Game: Score at the end of game to put Shenanigans on top.

Game 1: Black Widows vs. T Rhyme

In the first period of the contest, each team scored one goal setting what seemed to be an even pace. However, the second period would tell a different story, T Rhyme scoring four times and the Black Widows twice. The period ended with T Rhyme leading 5-3, leaving the Black Widows in a decent comeback position. Being two goals behind would be the closest the Black Widows would come though; scoring no goals in the third and watching T Rhyme add another two. The final was 7-3 in favor of T Rhyme.

Three Stars:
1. Brady Frederick (F; T Rhyme; 1G 2A)
2. Robert Yohe (F; T Rhyme; 2G)
3. Eric Blasiman (F; T Rhyme; 1G 1A)

Game 2: Bret vs. Danny Boys

Before the game began, when looking at the standings, this game was expected to be somewhat of a blowout in favor of team Brett. However, Danny Boys would put up a great fight showing they are not a team to be taken lightly. The game began with a burst of goals, five to be exact, by team Brett. After the first, Brett had a 5-2 lead making the expected blowout a real possibility. Danny Boys would not take a beating like this though scoring two unanswered goals to start the second, decreasing Brett’s lead to 5-4. This quick start to the period sparked an outburst of goals, each team scoring four in the period for a total of eight goals in the second. The third was intense though, Kevin Rawlik and the Danny Boys posting a shorthanded and even strength goal, the last one with 3:20 left in the game pulling within a one goal. The final was in favor of team Brett, 9-8; but the Danny Boys truly proved they are a contender.

Three Stars:
1. Kevin Rawlik (F; Danny Boys; 4G 3A)
2. Andy Reuhl (F; Brett; 3G 1A)

Game 1: Ice Hogs vs. Habs

This contest began slowly with only one goal being scored in the first by Patrick Halleck of the Ice Hogs. The second period was also pretty even matched, both teams putting one on the scoreboard; the Ice Hogs leading 2-1 after the second. The third period however was a completely different story. The third alone saw five goals, almost double the amount of the first and second combined. The Ice Hogs’ premier passing was what one it though, having five different players score to win the game 6-3.

Three Stars:
1. Patrick Halleck (F; Ice Hogs; 2G)
2. John Rich (F; Ice Hogs; 1G 1A)

Game 2: Fremont Alumni vs. Fremont Ross

As far as the regular season goes, this was the final match up between the two Fremont teams. The previous battle was won by Fremont Alumni in a close one 7-6. This contest began slowly just like the first one; no goals were scored in the first period. The second period only saw one tally by Robert Howard of Alumni. Going into the third, Alumni clung onto a small 1-0 lead, but their goaltender Chris Wobser had already stopped all 20 shots he had faced. How long could he keep the shutout alive? That question was answered in the third with Alumni adding on two insurance markers and playing solid defense. In the end, Chris Wobser and Fremont Alumni shutout Ross 3-0, winning the season series 2-0.

Three Stars:
1. Chris Wobser (G; Fremont Alumni; 30/30 saves, 100% sv. pct.)
2. Ryan Pickut (F; Fremont Alumni; 2G 1A)
3. Matt Hershey (G; Fremont Ross; l7/20 saves, 85%)

Game 1 Summary: Fremont Ross vs. Habs
Going into the game, the Habs were heavy underdogs. Sometimes, the underdogs will win though, so would this be the first win of the Habs’ season?

Game 1 Summary: Black Widows vs. T-Rhyme

At first, this game seemed to be an even matchup between two solid teams. Joe Harris of T-Rhyme opened up the scoring only 2:57 into the first period, but was later matched by Andrew Hess of Black Widows. The first ended 2-1, in favor of T-Rhyme; yet this period would not forecast the rest of the game.

The Black Widows were not disrupted by the quick goal, and managed to tie the game up with two consecutive goals in the second. At one point, the game was tied at three apiece.

Game 2 Summary: Team Brett vs. Danny Boys

This game featured a battle between the young and skilled Team Brett, and the older and experienced Danny Boys. The two teams were tied in the standings before the game, so a close one was expected, and the two teams delivered. The game began with each team scoring twice in the first, back and fourth. The second period went to Team Brett, scoring four goals and forward Andy Reuhl collecting a hat trick. Instead of bringing the Danny Boys down, this large lead acted more as a spark of motivation, driving Danny Boys on a monumental comeback attempt. Danny Boys pulled four goals together in the third period, all by different players showing their ability to work together, yet the four goals were not enough. Team Brett won the intense battle 8-7.

Three Stars:
1. Kevin Rawlik (F; Danny Boys; 3G 3A)
2. Andy Reuhl (F; Team Brett; 3G 1A)
3. Brett Heringhaus (F; Team Brett; 2G 1A)
