Will It Be Another Blow Out?
In what has been a lopsided win season so far, the Red and Orange teams
set out to try and make this one of the better games. Red started with the
ball and in 3 plays, it looked like the game was off to the races as QB
Mastermind Eric hit Cesar for an 80 yard touchdown. The Venerable Manny was
in command for Orange and he mounted a nice drive that culminated with a 10
yard pass to Rookie Sensation Nick Liggins to tie the game back up. Red
quickly struck back in 3 plays again with a 45 yard TD to Reigning MVP
Cesar. The back and forth continued as Manny his Nick again for a 70 yard TD
this time on the second play of their drive. Red slowed the game down a bit
with a nice time consuming drive that ended when Eric scrambled for a 20
yard TD run. Orange, looked to tie the game up again, but failed to do so
when Second year wonder Edwin intercepted an errant pass. Red 21 – Orange

Red looked to put some space between them and Orange and in two plays, Eric
hit Cesar for a 60 yard touchdown. With their backs to the wall and down two
scores, Orange drove down the field. Their push to pull within a score ended
when Cesar snagged an interception. And just a few plays later, Red put up
it’s 3rd straight touchdown on a 30 yard pass from Eric to Seasoned Veteran
Donnie. Former MVP Steve took over at QB for Orange and quickly drove down
the field ending their scoring drought with a 10 yard TD pass to World
