Quarterback Andrew Ross drops back to pass for
the Ross Built Construction Broncos.
The Sun Sports game of the week was between the football slinging East Division 6-0 Mr. Bones Colts and the wild West Division 5-1 Ross Built Construction Broncos. This 10-12 year old flag football game was as exciting as an old Wild West movie.
The Mr. Bones Colts won the toss and stormed out with their offense a blazin'. On their first drive quarterback Rory Houston threw a nine yard TD pass to Ben Connors. The extra-point was good on a Houston to Zachariah Goode pass, 7-0.
The Ross Built Construction Broncos stormed down the field on multiple Jake Ross runs, but missed a golden opportunity to score when a third and goal pass from the seven-yard line was broken up in the end zone by Colts defender Ben Connors.
The Broncos defense did one better and stopped the Colts from scoring when Jake Ross intercepted a Colts pass in the end zone and returned it to mid-field. Two plays later, Hannah McCracken took a handoff up the middle and sprinted to pay-dirt for the Broncos TD. The extra-point was no good, 7-6 Colts.
With four minutes left in the half, Rory Houston intercepted a pass in the end zone for the Colts. On the very next play, Houston found his favorite target Connors for a 45-yard touchdown bomb. The extra point was no good and left the halftime score 13-6 Colts.
The Colts defense corralled the Broncos offense in the second half. On the first play Colts defender Rory Houston intercepted a pass and returned it for the touchdown. The extra-point was no good, 19-6. Colts defenders Ben Connors finished with seven flag pulls and Zachariah Goode had four pulls.
The Broncos defense also played great and shut the high powered Colts offense down for the majority of the second half and gave their team a chance to win. Big interceptions by Andrew and Jake Ross, a timely sack by Hannah McCracken and four flag pulls by Javan Vasquez kept the Broncos in the game.
With less than 10 minutes to play, quarterback Andrew Ross threw a 24-yard strike to brother Jake for the touchdown. Jake Ross ran in the two-point conversion, 19-14 and Broncos were within one score.
The suspense mounted and the crowd was ready for the showdown finish. The Broncos needed one more score to take the lead. They marched down the field, but with less than three minutes left in the game, the Broncos needed a big first down to continue the drive, but the Colts defense held strong.
With 17 seconds left, the Colts put the last nail in the coffin when Ben Connors made a spectacular diving catch in the end zone for a touchdown. The extra-point was no good, 25-14. The Broncos never say die attitude kept going though. They tried twice to throw long bomb passes. The second of which was intercepted by Houston and he returned it 30 yards for the end of the game TD. The final score was 31-14 and the Mr. Bones Colts remain undefeated.
