Half time in football is a big deal, and so is the halfway point in the season. Midway through the Anna Maria Island Community Center’s winter NFL Flag Football season, the divisional rivalries are starting to take shape.
The regular season games are important. Each team plays the same amount of games to determine which will be the divisional champions at the awards ceremony. These standings also determine the seeding for the end of the year playoffs on the road to the Community Center’s Super Bowl championships.
In the 8 to 10 year old division, the Beach Bistro Buccaneers and the Tyler’s Ice Cream Vikings remain unbeaten. They will play each other this Friday night in a battle of the undefeated.
The Beach Bistro team is led by the strong quarterback play of Chris Snyder and standout teammates David Daigle and brothers German and Javier Rivera.
The Tyler’s Ice Cream team is led by experience and leadership of Ava Alderson, Tuna McCracken and the quarterback play of Thomas Heckler.
In the 11-to-13-year-old division, there are also two undefeated teams on top of the leader board. The LPAC Cardinals and the Beach to Bay Buccaneers. These two teams will not face off against each other until Feb. 17.
The Beach to Bay team is led by the tandem quarterback system of Rutger Langley and Leo Rose with clutch receiving on the other end by Noah Heskin and Morgan Horesh.
The LPAC team is led by experienced quarterback Joey Stewart and speed all around him in Zach Fernandez, Tyler Pearson and Daniel Sentman.
In the 14-to-17-year-old division, there is a three way tie for first and a major battle to the championship brewing between the Galati Yacht Sales Buccaneers, the Mr. Bones Bengals and the Feast restaurant Broncos.
The Galati team is led by a quarterback tandem of Lee Burgeron and Chris Galati. The brother receiving tandem of Andrew and Jake Ross lead the targets.
The Mr. Bones team is led by senior experience with Hunter Parrish. Quarterback Nehemiah Goode and brothers Malachi and Zachariah Goode provide the explosive offense.
The Feast restaurant team is led by another tandem quarterback system with Burke Hill and Cody Tsai. Their supporting team members are speedy receivers Chris Johnson and Joshua Parrish.
The Center’s NFL Flag Football youth division is shaping up to be a tossup of parity. The second half race to the regular season championship and the playoffs is on. What second half heroics will standout? Check back weekly to see how this season all turns out.
