Week six is in the past, and it is safe to say the great games are just going to continue to keep rolling each weekend as the race for co-ed touch football immortality is coming up upon us! The weather once again cooperated, where everybody was shedding their layers by noon time. My impression of the league so far: who the heck knows who is going to win it all in each division! It feels like anything can happen. With that let’s take a look at some of this weeks games!

BC: 

Blach-ur-anus 46, Steph’s Misty-rious Infection 31

Garrett made his grand return after a two week hiatus and it could not have come at a better time. The new Steph infection was down quite a few players, but Frank Laudico was still ready to sling it, hitting his ladies time after time for gains. Nobody has ever accused Garrett of being the smartest QB (just kidding, we love Garrett) but he was strategic the entire game, taking advantage of his open receivers ability to get open. In the end, the lady touchdowns made the difference as BUA made enough to get the win.

D1:

Losing Streak 36, Legends 24

This was a game of turnovers and a little bit of controversy, but we will get to that in a minute. Jordan Lawson looked focused and ready for this battle, delivering strike after strike to his talented receivers. Joey Batts made his return to QB for Legends, and was overall sharp but made some uncharacteristic turnovers that swung the game in the LS direction. On one of those picks, Chris Nelson picked the ball off and ran to the goal line and pitched to a girl, but a Legends defender made a great effort and deflected the ball into the endzone. In the end it was ruled dead ball at the spot it was deflected, but it raised some questions on if it should be a touchback. May need to get the rules committee together and add some clarification for the future. In the end, Jordan found Chris for a touchdown on 6-0 to seal the game, and a huge win for LS. 

Frodo Swaggins 39, Sticky Bandits 30

Garrett was able to gather the fellowship around Frodo and looked comfortable in the pocket throwing to his receivers. Garrett was able to complete substantial passes to Katie, Dri, and Tori repeatedly. The nail in the coffin was when Tori ran an out and up over Brandy Clarke, scoring a much needed 8 points. On the other side of the ball, Josh Schneider made it his personal mission to try and pick Mike Thomas off, running all over the field demonstrating his value as a top 5 defender. Sticky was down 19 points and felt momentum coming back their way. Mike Thomas scored a gender touchdown with around 5 minutes left. Sticky managed to get the stop they needed for one last drive, but couldn’t punch the ball in as Mike tried to his Nicole Sharick on a front line out. Congrats Garrett and Frodo for finally getting in the win column!

D2: 

Freeballers 42, Scared Hitless 32

Freeballers were the dominant team, especially with a quarterback the team refers to as HIM. Adrian Cannon played stellar defense all game making quarterbacking miserable for Dylan Day. On several occasions Adrian broke up some deep shots to the guys of SH. Dylan did find the occasional open receiver hovering the sideline or goal line. Once SH had 4 guys available, they started to move the ball better, but attendance seems to be their issue thus far. As the game was coming to a close, Freeballers decided to stop playing defense and let SH get a gender touchdown and the two point conversion to let the game become a little more interesting. Freeballers ended up running enough time off to seal the deal. 

D3: 

Keller Whales 39, Bullet Club 38

This was a back and forth all afternoon, and was exciting with a lot of offensive fireworks. BC got up early with well-run and precise drives that ended in touchdowns to George Lombardo. KW would not let that stop them, driving the ball down the field to make it a game and then on the last play of the half, got a nice catch in the back corner of the endzone to make it a tight game. This game felt like each offense was scoring on every drive, until BC didn’t on a missed pass from Langley to old veteran Tommy Hughes, giving KW the edge in the end as the Keller Clan celebrated a hard-earned win. 

The Family 40, Wanderers 38

The Family has been blitzing through their competition since some early hiccups, and may just be perhaps the most athletic team in TSL. Led by Terrell Bolden, who was sharp and accurate all game, TF moved the ball down the field time and time again for scores. Not to be outdone by TF’s athleticism, Wanderers might be one of the smartest teams out there, and they showed it again with methodical drives down the field. On one pass, Frank found his brother, Alan Laudico, who made a jump cut, breaking the ankles of the TF defender. A loud “OOOOOO’ was yelled out by even the defenders teammates Alan shook him so bad. In the end, the high-powered offense of TF was too much, and they get yet another victory. 

D4: 

ILF 35, PWI 0

This was a game of substitutes and captains who are too arrogant to request bye weeks when 90% of their teams are out of town. John Langley was in the middle of his 5th quadruple header of the year and there was no wear to be found. Langley threw to “Drunk enough to catch, not drunk enough to fall over” Meg and Brett Fiend repeatedly, racking up a score of 35-0. Brett had three touchdowns, in the front of the endzone, back and all around, and was practically begging John to let him join THK. Derek Pew was the QB of PWI and the wind was against him, every pass over 15 yards would sail and curve thanks to an errant gust of wind. 

Father Baker 36, Buffalo Vice 32

Buffalo Vice was fully staffed and started off hot, hitting deep routes and using their height to their advantage. Caitlin Mason’s efforts in the first half proved to be another threat to a stacked offense. She was juking past Robin and catching long touchdown passes on Maddie Norton. Not to be outdone by Caitlin, Maddie scored on a stop and go, while on another drive, Robin was left wide open that resulted in a deep touchdown pass. The interesting change of this game was that Father Baker was again on a missionary trip so Father Coniff filled in for him. At the end of one half, Vice was ahead by two scores. Father Coniff quickly learned what the nuns prefer to run on offense, who was the best in confession, and was best in coverage. Father Coniff provided holy guidance on defense which led to stops. Due to some uncharacteristic drops by BV guys, some defense by Molly Santo and Britnee Perry, and a game-sealing interception by Father Coniff, Father Baker pulled off the upset. 

D5:

GUCCI 46, Not So Sticky 6

This game was over in the first ten minutes, as the sub-filled Not So Sticky roster never stood a chance against the high powered GUCCI machine.  Kelly Kane often gets the credit (and rightfully so) for being the badass alpha female that keeps GUCCI rolling, but Laura Territo didn't disappoint either with a gorgeous interception to break the spirits of NSS once and for all.  People stopped asking for score checks after the first half, as this was never really in question.
