Quarantine delays pushed the end of the spring adult co-ed flag football season almost into the summer, with the final games played last Thursday night at The Center.
After threats of rain, in high humidity, team Firkins Automotive eked out the win in the championship game to end another football season, with the final score 26-25. In the final seconds of the game an extra point conversion kept the game from going into overtime play.
Moss Builders may have finished second, but the all-around talent and veteran experience of the squad made the team the favorite going into the match-up.
Team captain Ryan Moss had three passing touchdowns in the game, with his scoring targets Jordan DeMers and Dina Calvary. Calvary had eight receptions in the game. Moss brother Jon had two catches including an extra point conversion.
Teammate Bradley Coleman had the football hit his hands twice for yardage. On defense he made a huge play with an interception that he ran back for a touchdown.
The efforts of Moss Builders could not stop Firkins Automotive’s enthusiastic play.
The youthful squad was smartly led by Jason Sato, who has played in the league since its inception, along with Chase Richardson, who has played in area leagues for years. With three touchdown passes in the statistic books, Sato threw the extra point pass that sealed the deal for Firkins.
Cory Banks and Matt Briley had extra point catches to their credit in the big game. Richardson made a TD reception, along with teammates Briley and Banks to put a total of 26 points on the scoreboard to win the championship game.
