Mud Bowl - The Snow Had Melt, But It Left A Messy Surprise for HBL
The game started simple enough with Blue winning the toss, but
deferring to receive the ball until the second half and Red made them pay
for this decision. In one play They went 80 yards with a pass from
Eric to Donnie.
Blue answered quickly and only took 2 plays to go 80 yards themselves. First a dropped pass, then an 80 yard pass to Aaron tying the game at 7 Red got the ball back, but their drive stalled. blue took over, and the drive ended with a 20 yard TD pass to Rich. Red next drive was halted again and in between series Macky and Cesar showed up. Macky wasted no time and helped Blue as he scored on a 20 yard pass from JP. Red was stopped for a 3rd straight time and Macky struck again by getting behind the coverage and catching a perfectly laid pass by JP for 50 yards and a Touchdown. 28 -7 Red was finally able to drive down the field and scored bringing them to within 14 points, However Blue drove right back down the field and then on a pass play that almost was intercepted by Steve, turned into a Touchdown as the tipped ball landed in Aaron's hands and he ran in for the score. Taking Blue back up by 3 scores, 35-14. Red went down to score before the half. However, the drive died with about 30 seconds left in the half. In the second half, it all seemed to become a blur. Red got the Ball and scored on 3 straight series tying the game as Blue was unable to put together any kind of drive. Red then again got the ball and drove down the field. And with 4th and goal, it seemed the Blue had finally cracked the code that was the Red's offense. However, Eric hit Cesar in the endzone and put the up 42-35, completing the comeback. Blue got the ball back, and was finally able to put a score on the board as JP hit Aaron for a 63 yard TD pass (with Donnie in hot pursuit) tying the score at 42 to 42. Red got the ball back, and wasted no time. After a couple of plays, Eric hit Donnie over the middle and he took off to the races. Even though he was tired from chasing Aaron, he was still able to outrun the Sarah the Track Star with a 60 yard touchdown of his own. With 8 minutes left in the game, Blue took their time driving down the field. Short precision passing by JP ate up the clock and yards. However, with only 1 minute left in the game and 20 yards from the endzone, Blue's drive stalled and the game ended with the final score 49-42 and Red victorious.

Did You Notice?There were 5 touchdowns of 50 yards or more. Both teams scored 4 unanswered touchdowns. The field was so muddy in some parts, that just walking in it made you sink inches into the ground. Cesar made it back to the playing field just one week after having a new baby come into his family. I had to reach for things to add to this recap :) Quotes of the Game:"What kind of beer do you want?" "You just want to touch Macky's breasts, don't you?" Plays of the Game:Donnie outrunning of Sarah for a 60 yard touchdown after he had just chased Aaron for 63 yards.
