Three teams go head to head each week in the 14- to 17-year-old youth flag football league at the Island’s community center. The teams, sponsored by Ugly Grouper, Grooms Auto and LaPensee Plumbing, take the field looking to have fun and use the skills many of the players developed after a lifetime of playing the sport at The Center.
Heading into week four, Ugly Grouper has a 2-1 record after a win over Grooms Auto last Tuesday night. Grooms came into the game having already had a match and a win against LaPensee.
LaPensee’s loss takes their record to 1-2. The squad looks for another win this week against Ugly Grouper.
Ugly Grouper’s 47-45 win against Grooms Auto did not come without challenge. The two pick sixes by Ian Godfrey for Ugly Grouper allowed his team to edge out the opponent.
Teammate Noah Costello had three receiving touchdowns in the game, along with four total extra points.
Grooms had interceptions of their own by Justin Cook, with two, and Shawn Balvin. Balvin grabbed four catches for touchdowns. Travis Bates had two touchdowns and two extra points in the game, alongside singles of each for teammate Jayse Berzowski.
Next week, LaPensee has the doubleheader, with the early game against Ugly Grouper at 8:15 p.m. The follow-up game against Grooms at 9:00 p.m. gives LaPensee a chance at redemption from last week.
