Despite struggles in the backfield, Slim’s Place’s keeper Ryan Moss had nine saves recorded in the game. Steve Oelfke had four saves for Signature Granite.

Goals by Olsin Crean and Ugur Durmaz secured the win for the team lead by veteran Kris Yavalar, as well as the return of Zoran Kolega and Toby Wickland to the league.

Last Thursday night in adult flag football action, Slim’s Place defeated Gulfview Windows and doors 23-12, putting them into the championship game.

The second semifinal game was a close one with Sandbar coming out on top against Moss Builders, 18-17.

In the final game of the night and the season, Slim’s Place eked out the win against Sandbar 34-33.

Connor Haughey led the Slim’s Place squad, while putting in the record books three passing touchdowns as the QB. Haughey also had two scoring receptions, an interception and two points after the touchdown in the championship game.

Keith McQuillen threw for two touchdowns and had two points after adding to the Slim’s Place team stats. Dominick Otteni and Luis Campos contributed to the Slim’s Place scoring with receiving yards that put them in the end zone.

The four throws for touchdowns by quarterback Chase Richardson just were enough. Anthony Mannino found himself on the receiving end of the Richardson passes for touchdowns.

Mannino’s night included a pick six and an extra point conversion play. Tim Holly scored the other TD with a nice grab of the Richardson throw.

To round out the scoring, Dylan Doyle scored two points after the touchdown for Sandbar.

The efforts of the Sandbar squad just were not quite enough against Slim’s Place, this season’s adult flag football champions at The Center.
