Week 9

Navarre vs Aillet

Team Navarre

It finally happened, folks — Team Navarre’s defense decided to clock in for work after an eight-game vacation. Team Aillet started with the ball, but Navarre’s D actually remembered how to pull flags and forced a turnover on downs, leaving fans and teammates equally stunned.

Taking advantage of a short field, Leaphart got things rolling early, hitting Bickham in stride for the opening touchdown.

On Aillet’s next drive, chaos struck — a pass intended for Aillet was tipped by Boozie and snatched by Bickham, who apparently plays both sides of the ball now. Navarre wasted no time capitalizing, with Leaphart tossing another TD — this time to Boozie.

The second half started the same way it ended — with Team Navarre marching down the field and Leaphart finding BooBoo in the end zone for yet another touchdown. At that point, the playbook was just “throw it to someone named Boo.”

From there, Navarre shifted strategies — opting to burn clock like a slow-cooked brisket. But things got interesting when BooBoo caught a 10-yard out and immediately pitched it back to his favorite Walker (the good one), who took off the other direction in full chaos mode. Fortunately, Boozie — the same guy who suggested the pitch — was also the one who saved the day by pulling the flag before things got ugly.

Team Aillet, to their credit, didn’t go quietly. Matt dropped a dime to Aillet, who made a highlight-reel grab over two defenders for the touchdown — setting a new season TD record in the process. Congrats to Aillet, who continues to score even when surrounded by chaos.

In the end, Team Navarre held on for a 20–14 win, powered by their defense’s rare appearance, Leaphart’s precision passing, and enough “Boo” moments to fill a Halloween special.

Team Aillet

A tale of two halves on Monday as a decimated Team Aillet, missing $300 of their receiving corps, struggled to get going against Team Navarre to start the night. TA started with the ball, but drive 1 ended in a turnover on downs and a short field for TN, who quickly found the endzone on a deep cross by Thomas Bickham. TA got the ball back and after a quick first down, lost possession again, this time on an interception by Bickham. It looked like TA might keep TN from capitalizing after the first two plays went nowhere, but then Leaphart found Bouzigard on a go route down the right sideline for a 14-0 lead before halftime.

TN got the ball to start the second half, and once again worked their way down the field, hitting Justin “Zero Yards After Catch” Navarre at the goal line for a 20-0 lead and a long uphill climb for TA. Things finally got going though, as The Good Walker methodically worked the team up the field with some quick-hitters before catching Aillet on a crisp route to the pylon for their first score of the game.

With the shame of a shutout no longer a concern, TA got back on defense, where they found the only thing that could stop Leaphart’s surgical precision – letting Boo Boo catch the ball and lateral it directly into Matt Walker’s arms. TA took advantage of the turnover to score on another Aillet TD (the league record 14th of the season for him), but with only seconds left and Leaphart having learned not to throw the ball to his captain, TN was able to burn off the rest of the clock and enough of the seven plays to end our hopes of a comeback. The good news is we get to turn around and play them again in the playoffs now that we’ve lured them into a false sense of security. See y’all in the playoffs!

Pogue vs Levert

Team Pogue 

Same ole depressing story. No Write Up

Team Levert

In a game with more drama than an OT coin toss, Team Levert earned a hard-fought 26-20 win. The game was a back-and-forth battle from the opening drive, with both teams trading scores throughout the game.  Quarterback Alexander set the tone early, delivering sharp passes for 1st half touchdowns to McKee and Rutland.  The offense looked dialed in, but the real momentum shift came courtesy of Buuck, who snagged a clutch interception to shut down Team Pogue’s drive just before halftime.  The offense continued marching up and down the field in the 2nd half with Alexander throwing two more TDs, one to Buuck, and the game winner to Rutland again.  With the game on the line and Team Pogue threatening, Team Levert’s defense stepped up big. Pitre, Alexander, and Hensgens made key flag pulls that slowed Team Pogue long enough for Buuck to break up the final pass.  With all the pressure and potential humiliation of losing to Team Pogue behind them, Team Levert heads into the playoffs with confidence and momentum on their side.

Allen vs May

Team Allen

Nothing

Team May

Defense was mostly optional in this game. Team Allen ran a trick play and scored on the first play of the game. Team May quickly responded with a short pass to Nic Morel, followed by a bomb from Hebert to Morel to take the 7-6 lead. 

TA began driving this time, but a tipped ball was intercepted by Kyle Hebert and TM was back in business. This time Hebert took his time marching down the field with an option toss to 45, and short passes to KB43 and Jmart before finding Blake Taylor in the endzone for the TD. 13-6. 

TA attempted to get down the field rapidly before half, but ran out of time inside the 10 yard line to finish the half. 

TM opened the half much like it opened the game, with a bomb to Morel for another long TD. 19-6. 

TA answered with a score of their own to trim the lead to 19-12. 

At this point, TM turned the reigns over to 45 to play QB the remainder of the game “just in case.” Playmaker Zack West immediately stepped up and took the pressure off 45 with several short catches that he turned into extra yardage. Inside the 20, TM called JMart’s number and 45 delivered a dime over the top of the defense to him in the back of the endzone. XP completed to Josh Robinson. 26-12. 

TM shifted into prevent defense and forced Pevey and company to use most of the remaining clock before allowing another TD to cut the score to 26-18. 

With just 7 plays remaining, 45 began to tell his huddle that we only really needed 1 first down and it should be over. Hebert interrupted invoking his MVP status and reminding everyone this was the last drive of the season so why don’t we try to score again. The huddle agreed and on the first play, while TA’s defense was likely looking for a short safe pass, 45 launched one over the top to Zack West sprinting up the sidelines and connecting for the game’s final TD. 32-18. 

TM goes into the playoffs looking like the greatest show on turf. What could go wrong!

Davenport vs Kitto

Team Davenport

Picture this:

It’s Sunday night, the Kitto brothers are snuggled up in their twin sized bed. Matt Williams pleading at the door for the two to make room for him. They are rizzing each other up for the last flag football game of the season. 

“You’re going to do great, Little Buddy” whispers John. 

“I’m throwing the ball to you every time, Big Bro” replies Ben. 

“I’ll just stay awake to scare the monsters away for y’all” whimpers Matt.

They drift off to sleep with dreams of touchdowns and glory playing in their heads, Matt sneaks onto the foot of the bed and curls up to fall asleep as well. 

The well rested trio come into the game with all the confidence that they will continue their winning streak. Team Davenport elects to take the ball first to set the tone. We’ve got records to break. Spoiler Alert: no records are broken, the stingy D of Team Kitto should hold their heads up high. Admittedly, the drive starts off shakey. John breaks up the first pass over the middle. Dropped pass on second down. Short throw to Arcement on 3rd down and John pulls his flag, with a little extra forearm shiver, that knocks Arcement into turf. Sets up a 4th and short. Team Kitto is foaming at the mouth to force an opening drive turnover against the #1 team. Patty Ice breaks off a huge gain with a scramble on 4th down to get the High Rollers back on track. The drive ends with Patty Ice hooking up with Arcemoney on a short route that Arcemoney takes to the house after making 5 defenders whiff. PAT good with a perfect throw and catch from Patty Ice to Richards. Team Kitto takes over with Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde at QB. First snap, The Rocket is able to get in the back field with a huge sack for a loss. Next play, Jekyll throws a pass over the middle into the hands of Arcemoney, but he’s unable to hold on to what would have easily been a pick 6. TD manages to get them to a fourth and short, but Team Kitto is able to convert for the first down. Team Kitto works the ball down the field before finding themselves with 4th & 6 on Team Davenport’s 26 yd line. Jekyll throws the pass into the dirt, turnover on downs. TD with the ball back, up one score and looking to put the game out of reach. We tried to take a couple shots down field, but the well rested Matt Williams and Neal Grob played a bend but don’t break defense. Patty Ice was able to get Team Davenport into scoring territory with another QB sneak. Patty Ices calls for four verticals. TD breaks the huddle ready to light up the scoreboard. The ball is snapped and the receivers tear down the field. Four steps in, Davenport tries to turn on the afterburners, but his hamstring had other ideas. The pass falls incomplete, intended for Ki$h. Davenport limps back to the huddle only for Towles to declare “Alright, same thing. Four verticals”. We break the huddle with a less than confident Davenport. He decides that he’s going to run the route easy. One half-step in and his hamstring, not so subtly, suggests the sideline is where he should be. Team Davenport turns it over downs with a little over a minute left in the half. Team Kitto moves quickly to push the ball down field. Overzealous John Kitto forgets we are playing flag football and barrels through Nick Richards on a catch and run, but our grade A officiating crew was all over it. They scan the crowd for the most impartial person they can find. They find Greg Pogue, he’s the one. The outcome of this game doesn’t affect his team one iota…they will still suck, no matter what. Mr. Impartial and refs huddle together for 10 minutes to talk about lord knows what because they break and resume play with no explanation. No flag, play on. Team Kitto calls a time out at mid field with under a minute to go. They are somehow able to run 7 plays with less than a minute…whatever, I digress. They score to end the half, but are unsuccessful on the PAT.

7-6 Halftime

Team Kitto gets the ball to start the second half. They move down the field, before Jekyll tries to throw a pass across his body, across the field. Arcemoney steps in front for the INT. Patty Ice caps it off for a QB for the tuddy. PAT no good. Team Kitto is now in a must score situation. Mr. Hyde moves the ball down the field with new found precision. They end up scoring on the ugliest play of the game, with a pass and catch then lateral to Big Bro who takes it to the house. Team Kitto’s PAT would tie the game, but Big Blue blitzes from safety. Mr. Hyde freezes when he sees the big man sprinting at him and is sacked on the play.  Team Davenport runs out the clock and gets to seven plays. They have a fourth and 5 on play 4. We convert and it’s game over. Patty Ice dumps it down to the rocket and all 7 Kitto defenders converge. The Rocket stretches the ball out like the end of Space Jam as his flag is pulled. First down, game over. 13-12 your Final. 

Shout out to Kenny “I’m always open” Carr for coming out to show the team support. His heart is rock solid….literally. He left before kickoff to avoid the urge to play and save his marriage. 

Team Kitto
