Flag Football Week 3 Soup-a-Stars vs Farve Dollar Footlong

Today’s showdown is brought to you by the Intramurals Recreation Department. It will be a bit cold this evening with temps of 50 degrees 10% chance of precipitation, 46% humidity and winds for NE at 4 MPH and mostly sunny. Soup –a-Stars and Favre Dollar Footlong have a nice warm-up with some passing drills and joking around.

Soup-a-Stars start with the ball. Garrett is the QB and does a nice job completing passes. With about three minutes into the game, Garrett passes to Vance Monroe who has to cut by two defenders to score and make it 6-0 Soup-a-Stars. A player of FDFL is able to stop Soup-a-Stars from making the conversion by intercepting the ball. With about two minutes, left in the first quarter FDFL John Mcdevitt makes a nice thirty yard catch down field. Then with about ten seconds left, Tara Gerke of FDFL is able to make a pass to John for a TD but they miss the conversion. That makes the score 9-6 at the end of first quarter. Second quarter starts with Soup-a-Stars having the ball. Three plays in Garrett is able to complete a 20 yard pass to Ray Zacharski and misses the conversion so the score is now 12-9 Soup-a-Stars. John Ausiander of FDFL is able to get a five-yard pass to make it fourth down. They decide to go for it but the pass gets intercepted by a player on Soup-a-Stars team who tries a lateral to a teammate but a player on FDFL who is playing heads up Defense is able to snatch the ball and return it for a touchdown with under two minutes left in the half. FDFL is able to make the conversion by Tara running it in to make the score 16-12 FDFL. The half ends with FDFL 16-12.

Third quarter starts with the ball and about the third play in Tara has some trouble and her pass gets intercepted. Then Garrett throws to Vance for ten-yard reception, and with five minutes remaining in third quarter Garrett completes a fifteen yard pass to Ray who leaps in the end zone to make the catch, making it 18-16 because they miss the conversion. Then first play after the TD, FDFL’s pass gets intercepted by Ray Zacharski who returns it thirty yards for a TD with some fancy footwork, then they make the conversion with a pass to Vance who has to leap up and make the catch making it 25-16 Soup-a-Stars. Then it looks like FDFL might score but Gage Childs has other ideas, intercepting the ball in the end zone as the third quarter comes to a close. That might have clinched the game right there. Starting the fourth quarter Soup-a-Stars are forced to punt. This is a very crucial part of the game for FDFL but it will be hard for them to score. Soup-a-Stars is playing stellar defense and sticking to the offence like spaghetti and meatballs. They are able to sack the QB twice and force a turnover. Soup-a-Stars will run the clock out winning 25-16 final score. The Soup-a-Stars must have had soup of Champions for dinner.

The game was very close throughout the whole game with the lead changing about three times. According to Monroe, “It felt great being GOTW and it was pretty nice accomplishment with us being down by four at the half and winning by nine. It was good. Yea I kind of did have some doubts about losing because we made some stupid passes by throwing to the other team. It was cool being video game of the week because I never knew this stuff happens, it is a pretty cool thing.” According to Gerke “Both teams played a good game and it was pretty cool being Video Game of the Week. Never knew intramurals ever did stuff like that.”
