Section 14 Flag Football Team Scores First Win Of Season.



The Section 14 Flag Football Team scored their first win of the season today, beating their opponent 26-6. Team Toejam, led by veteran quarterback Casey "Hoss" O'Connor, dominated on both sides of the ball. The play of the game was made by Nick "Shreck" Sloey, who dazzled players and spectators alike with an amazing open field run after a short catch. Deep in their own zone, O'Connor threw a short pass to Sloey, who proceded to turn on the jets and make a highlight-reel run, complete with multiple spin moves and stutter steps. In a standout performance, O'Connor threw for four touchdowns - three to Jered "Burgle Master" Matthysse and one to Chris "Mother" Dean. It looked like he had a fifth TD when he completed a pass to a wide open Peter "Mr. Simmons" Eicker (Section 11, but we love him anyway), but Eicker didn't realize he was still a yard short of the end zone when he stopped running. O'Connor was given plenty of time to set up in the pocket and throw, thanks to a dominating offensive line led by Sloey, Ryan "Bodyguard" Smith and Bryan "Boyfriend Voice" Mohler. The defense played just as well. Defensive ends Dean and Steve "Cruiser" Rice put pressure on the opposing quarterback all game long. The secondary put forth a brilliant effort, with blanket coverage provided by defensive backs Tyler "SCK" Moore, Brett "Gunner" Friedman and Dave "Orient Express" Kim. Offensive juggernaut Matthysse also managed an interception from his safety position. All in all, it was a great team effort and it provided a tremendous amount of motivation for a team who had struggled early but now feels confident of their chances of making the playoffs. After the game, the team enjoyed a celebratory meal at Lindy's Red Lion.
