So, you’ll remember a little while ago when we wrote “FCS Flag Football Championship Preview.” So, as the winter hammers down with basketball and squash, we’d like to tell you the final outcome of the flag football championship game. Here we go!
Semifinals: Blue Team (Blake Roshkoff ’20) vs. Yellow Team (Gordon Wilcox ’20)
Well, the score was not 90-0. Since it was a “W” Day, the games were shortened to 20 minutes. I did not realize that by the time I wrote my preview, so my predictions were wrong. It was actually a very exciting (and very controversial) game. At first, the Blue Team, with none other than Tucker Wolfson ‘21 pulling flags like a beast, was winning with 6 points ahead. In a shocking conclusion, the Yellow Team, with none other than Charlie Szwartz ’21 keeping his team together, managed to throw a lucky pass to Sylvan Davidson ‘20, tying the score 6-6. In the extra point (where the Yellow Team decided to go for 1 point), Nicholas Sperans ‘20 managed to run into the end zone, making the final score 7-6. The Blue Team was out of the Championship. WHY?!?! WHY?!?!
The Finals: Yellow Team (Gordon Wilcox ‘20) vs. Red Team (Isaiah Williams ‘20)
For the final showdown, after a long battle, the Red Team was triumphant, winning the FCS flag football championship. We both forgot what exactly happened, so we decided to ask some people what happened. We decided to interview Isaiah Williams ‘20 and Gordon Wilcox ‘20, the two team captains, for some help. Here is what they said:
Isaiah said that he felt great about winning the Championship, and that he probably wouldn’t have done it if he didn’t have some good chemistry on his team. He also said that it helped that Gordon’s team threw some interceptions to help lead Red to a championship. Isaiah said that his favorite play was when he ran across the field after the Yellow Team blitzed. Isaiah then threw blindly across the field, but Terrence Lewis ‘21 caught the ball in the end zone, giving the Red Team a touchdown. Isaiah said that Terrence, better known as TJ, was the one who deserved the credit for the touchdown, not him.
Gordon said that his team was missing some key components, and that might have stopped them from winning. Although his team lost, he really liked when Tristan Szapary ‘20 took back a kickoff for a touchdown. It was one of the Yellow Team’s best plays of the game.
