Flag Football kicks off a great season
By Adam Brown 
The 2006 season of intramural flag football kicked off on Oct. 2. The opening game between the Fighting Irish and the Crew was highlighted by defensive plays with the Irish topping the Crew 13�8. In first half action, Crew player Michael Wright was intercepted, and the interception eventually led to an Irish touchdown. On the next Crew drive, quarterback Ben Claytor was intercepted, stalling the Crew offense once again. The Irish weren�t able to capitalize and turned the ball back over to the Crew on downs. The Crew offense finally showed some life when Joseph Seo ran for a touchdown. The following play resulted in Claytor running in the two-point conversion, giving the Crew the lead, 8�7. The next drive produced by the Irish was abruptly stopped when Seo intercepted a pass from Ammar Abdellatif. After the Crew was stopped, the Fighting Irish regained the lead when Chase Tolbert made the game-winning touchdown, making it 13�8. The next two drives ended with interceptions by both teams. Zorin Moore relieved Claytor as quarterback for the final drive by the Crew, but their bid ended when Terry Albert intercepted Moore�s pass in the end zone. In the second game, the Fighting Ducks topped the Irish 22�19. The Irish scored on an Abdellatif touchdown run, and later Abdellatif threw a scoring pass to Albert. Albert also tossed a touchdown pass to Dustin Little. The Ducks responded with two touchdown throws from Chris Strickland and Josh Underwood, a point PAT caught by Tyrone Bannister and a safety by Strickland. After the game, the Fighting Ducks all-star player Josh Underwood said, �That�s what football is all about, bringing people together.� Come out and support the GHC flag football teams as each competes for the championship. |
