Three teams, three games--Young Guns, Six Mile Ducks and Miller Time bring exciting action to the fall flag football season

On Tuesday Oct. 22, three flag football games were played at Georgia Highlands College.

Each game consisted of two 10-minute halves. Each touchdown is worth six points, and there is a chance to make a one or two point conversion. Since there is only one girl in the intramural flag football league, a touchdown scored by a girl counts as 12 points.

In the first game starting at 1 p.m., the Six Mile Ducks played against the Young Guns, and Jesse Green, Jeremy Carter and Brad Patterson for the Young Guns were basically a three-man wrecking crew.

Patterson, made two exciting interceptions in the first half alone. On his second interception, he made a 40 yard run for a touchdown.

Green, at quarterback, played like an intramural flag football veteran, passing for two touchdowns and running for another.

Carter, receiver, scored an impressive three touchdowns and scored on a point conversion to account for 20 of the Young Guns points.

With 11 seconds to go, the Six Mile Ducks scored their only touchdown, bringing the game to a 26-6 end.

The second game matched the Six Mile Ducks against Miller Time.

Miller Time quarterback Eric Minter showcased his speed and passing ability, throwing four touchdowns and making a number of runs to put his team in scoring position.

With Miller Time down 12-8 at halftime, Minter made a touchdown pass to Julianna Hunt and then completed the conversion. With this, Miller Time took a commanding 21-12 lead early in the second half.

The game was far from over, though. The Ducks scored the next two touchdowns, giving them a 24-21 lead.Seth Ingram runs with the ball

On the very next drive, Minter made an amazing 40-yard hailmary touchdown pass to Ricky "Showtime" Lofton, upping Miller Time's score to 27, giving them the lead. Lofton accounted for two touchdowns in the game.

With 19 seconds to go, the Ducks scored another touchdown to take a 31-27 lead.

But, on the next drive, Minter took a quarterback sneak and made a dashing run all the way down to the goal line. With two seconds left on the clock, Minter made a dangerous pass to Al Miller for a touchdown to win the game. The final score was 33-31 in favor of Miller Time.

In the third and last game, the Young Guns faced off against Miller Time. This game had a lower score due to the fatigued players and the numerous injuries. Nonetheless, the Young Guns remained undefeated with a 20-14 win.

On the last drive, the Young Guns sealed the game with a touchdown pass from Green to Jonah Hill. They also completed the conversion, which scaled the victory.

The Young Guns extend their record to a commanding 4-0, while the Six Mile Ducks remain winless at 0-4. Miller Time extended their record to 2-2.
