Week 10 - Recap

Saturday presented one of the seasons best weather days for the gridiron warriors. Early week freezing temperatures had warmed to a comfy 60 degree sunshiny day. 15 holiday heavy players arrived ready to work off the turkey legs, chocolate candies and ginger bread cookies which were enjoyed over the bye week. It was time to get back to work!


Shout out to a few first tymers: Blake and Daniel were solid additions to the already loaded SMFL player talent pool. We hope these athletes continue to play as their skills greatly enhanced the play during the day.


Shout out to a few players that were MIA in recent years/months:


Jordan - "The Denz" was back in action for the first time during the 2007-2008 season. A girl friend, motorcycles and other philanthropy type activities have consumed his time for much of the season, but we were glad to see him back.


Eric "the Giant" made his second game of the 2007-2008 season. MVP honors during the third game truly showed that the league was missing his abilities... the physical presence alone is good for 15 intangible points.


And finally, A-Train dazzled the league with his presence. Not only did he show up to play, but also shocked the league by contributing a touchdown, an interception and several deflected passes. Apparently, the time off served him well.


The teams shaped out as follows for the following three games:

Team 1 (7 Points)

Highlight of the day occurred during Game 2 when Team 1 scored 4 touchdowns from 3 offensive plays! Truly a first for the SMFL. How did they do it you ask? Here is a play by play of Game #2:


Team 1's first offensive possession:
Play 1: Farrellio to Peg Leg, incomplete.
Play 2: Farrellio to B-Ruby, 9 yard completion.
Play 3: Farrellio to Rhino, 41 yard deep post corner route, Touchdown.


Team 2's first offensive possession:
Play 1: Baylor to Eric the Giant, dropped interception by Farrellio.
Play 2: Baylor to Papi, tipped at the line by a B-Ruby rush, intercepted by Blake and taken to the house for a touchdown.

Team 2's second offensive possession:
Play 1: B-Ruby blitz, Baylor pass to Eric the Giant, one handed interception by Farrellio and returned for a pick 6.


Team 2's third offensive possession:
Play 1: Papi to Iman, 4 yard completion.
Play 2: Papi to Favre, intercepted by Rhino and returned for a touchdown.


Never in SMFL history has a team scored 3 defensive touchdowns.
Never in SMFL history has a team scored 4 touchdowns with only 3 plays on offense.


Truly a game for the records.
