WOW, What a Game!

The little Broncos went into today's game with a 1-2 record and were facing the 3-0 Colts in crucial flag football game. Dylan has been playing well and has a team high 4 touchdowns but had also a stomach virus that has had him vomiting for 24 hours and unable to keep anything down. If fact, he puked on the way to the game. I didn't stop him from playing a good chunk of the time and he actually ran a 30 yard touchdown that was called back on a suspect flag guarding call. (BTW, the ref had a kid on the other team and called 3 of our touchdowns back, seems like a conflict there don't ya think?)

Sam was on fire and produced a touchdown on the first offensive play of the game with the now famous "throw to Dylan on the sideline the reverse it back to Sam" play. He did it again when we got the ball back but that was called back on another bad call by the ref. Sam scored his second TD just before half and we went into halftime down 12 -16.

The Broncos defense got mean in the second half and we held them scoreless even with Dylan starting to fade with no energy but the Broncos couldn't score either. Dylan took himself out until he finally rallied in the last two minutes and helped stop the last Colts drive. The Broncos got the ball back with about 45 second left, ran a couple plays that didn't work out so well then with the clock ticking down, Sam got the snap from center with 1 second left to play. He turned and threw a perfect pass to Dylan near the sideline, Dylan ran back towards the middle of the field and a second before he had his flag grabbed by a defender, handed it off to Sam who turned on the burners for a 35 yard TD run. Final, 18-16 Broncos...

The crowd went wild, at least the parents of the Broncos did and in the team huddle, Sam could barely contain himself and cried. I can't say who I'm more proud of, Sam with the 3 TD's or Dylan who toughed out a stomach virus, but didn't quit. All in all it was an amazing game and a ton of fun to watch.
