ANNA MARIA – Despite the rain and chill, the Island area youth had fun playing flag football at The Center of Anna Maria Island on Friday. Kicking off the night’s action, team Sato Real Estate took the Solid Rock Construction squad to task, winning 30-6.
Solid Rock’s loss was not without effort by the skilled squad, but the plays just were not going the team’s way.
Sato Real Estate’s quarterback, Brandon Sato, smartly led his team down the football field to score 24 offensive points. Sato threw for three touchdowns to Grayson Cohen and had a rushing TD of his own.
Undoubtedly the game’s standout player, Sato also made his mark on the other side of the football with nine flag pulls. Teammate Grayson Cohen had three flag pulls on the Solid Rock offense.
Defensively, Silas Whitehead and Will Breslin each had a stop. Whitehead added to his game stats with a pick-six, taking his interception into the Solid Rock endzone.
Team Solid Rock Construction scored their six points on a rushing touchdown by Matthew Darak. To add to his TD, Darak had one reception and a single flag pull.
Jedi “JJ” Smith had the hot hands for Solid Rock with seven catches. He helped on defense with a critical stop.
Teammate Elijah Roadman had a flag pull and reception against the tough Sato Real Estate team.
Rounding out the 8- to 10-year-old flag football action, team Adrian Griffin Interiors defeated Beach House Waterfront Restaurant 39-6. In closer match-ups, the Moss Builders squad earned their seven-point touchdown against Cheesecake Cuties winning 19-12.
Closing out last Monday night’s action, team AMI Coconuts’ 7-6 win kept the Chick-fil-A team looking for their first victory. Moss Builders remained undefeated, with three teams chasing them with a 3-1 record.
Heading toward the playoffs, the top seed is still up for grabs.
