The flag football intramural season began on Oct.1 at the soccer field with the Cowboys going against the Fighting Ducks. The Fighting Ducks led by their quarterback, Josh Under-wood, methodically advanced downfield in a time-eating drive that ended in a touchdown, a tipped pass that ended up in a receiver's hands.

With the missed extra point, the Fighting Ducks led the Cowboys 6-0. The Cowboys answered with a drive of their own, but they were unable to punch into the end zone and instead was turned over on downs. The Cowboys finally scored a touchdown of their own when Luke Allmon returned an interception for a score.

The Fighting Ducks answered quickly, and at the half, the Fighting Ducks led the Cowboys 13-6. In the second half, a long touchdown pass from the Cowboys made it 13-12. With time winding down, the Cowboys went for two, in order to win the game, but failed in the attempt. They lost 13-12. "It feels good to start off this season with a victory," said Underwood.

The second game of the day pitted the Cleveland Steamers against The Legion of Doom. Unlike the first game, this was a high-scoring affair, though one team did much of the scoring. After an opening touchdown pass that gave the Steamers the lead 6-0, the Legion of Doom ran off 36 unanswered points.

It was never much a contest, and even a last-minute touchdown by the Steamers was answered by the Legion of Doom. In the end, the Legion of Doom trounced the Cleveland Steamers 42-12. Chris Hill, one of the many star receivers for the Legion of Doom, said, �I feel great about this game.� Russell Barwick of the Cleveland Steamers promised they �would come out next week and try hard for a win.�
