Winter Co-ed Flag Football at Delta Park Thursdays

On Thursday night, in not only her second Flag Football game with Underdog but her second Flag Football game ever, Camille Earle showed that it doesn't take experience to play Flag Football but HEART...oh, and there's one more thing, the desire to have some fun while you're at it.
In helping push the Skallywags into the win column Camille played hard nose pass-rush, hit the turf a few times to try to snag the tough catch (she eventually pulled one of those bad boys in for a biiiiig firstdown) and was out for a good time. Mission accomplished. Congrats Camille, you're the Thursday Night Flag Football League Underdog Player of the Week, nice job rook, keep up the good work!

Team Muchas Smuchas played a back-to-back Double Header this Thursday night and the only moment oF rest for Annie Hoffensperger came on a Pass Inteference penalty in which Annie took a shot from a defender that put them both on the ground. When I say "moment" though, I meant a teenie tinie moment. Annie shot up and made her way back to her huddle and then proceeded to unleash her skillz (that's right skillz) all over the two teams MS played that night.
Whether it was throwing TD's or catching them, The two-season Underdog veteran didn't take a break from pointing points on the board. If I'm not mistaken I believe even she tossed in a pick six while on defense to sweeten the pot.
Tough play and great sportswomanship put Annie on the Thursday Night League Underdog Flag Football Player of the Week podium. Very well deserved. CONGRATS!!!

The Man Punts didn't get a second to breath out of the entire eighty minutes of game clock in their double header, first against the ever-improving ManBearPigs and then followed by a bout with the always solid Muchas Smuchas.
In the 8 o'clock match-up, the Man Punts were up by two points going into the last play of the game which actually resulted in a touchdown for the ManBearPigs giving them the lead with no time remaining.
A little bummed but not deterred, Man Punts QB and Captain Mikey Smith welcomed the opportunity for redemption as the Man Punts took the field for their second game against the Muchas Smuchas squad but this game too would come down to the final play.
Both teams exchanged the lead multiple times throughout the game and while the Muchas Smuchas are a team with big-time, big play capability, Smith neutralized any momentum the Smuchas may have gained by connecting with his own offensive weapons such as clutch Man Punts receiver PNK and by crafting scoring drives that kept the Man Punts ahead or barely behind. If Smith wasn't in the game he could be heard cracking a few jokes here and there but always keeping his teammates alert and focused on the task at hand.
Even with key stops by the Man Punts defense, the Muchas Smuchas put together a scoring drive with just under two minutes left to play. Before the Smuchas TD, Man Punts had the lead 35-28. The "do or die" Smuchas wanted to shut the game down and decided to line up for the 2-point conversion forgoing the option to tie. It was a gutsy move that paid off big and the Muchas Smuchas took the lead by a single point with less than two minutes to play.
Smith took the field knowing that whichever team had the ball last would most likely be the victor. Mikey knew he had to score but he had to chew up enough clock to keep from giving his opponent one last chance at the endzone.
With just under thirty seconds to play, Man Punts scored the go ahead TD but couldn't convert on the extra point try. The Smuchas would get close to the goal line but Smith and his Man Punts locked down the endzone and slammed the steel curtain shut on a 41-36 victory.
Mikey, you're a great player, a great teammate, a formidable opponent and a true sportsman which makes your our Thursday Night League UNDERDOG Player of the Week. Congrats and save some room for playoffs.
