Honestly didn’t see it coming. But New Bremen is on a mission. Congrats to those seniors. Didn’t hear much about the game. ML was up early. Late turnovers or just a battle?
Watched it on WOSN last night.
ML special teams hurt them, more specifically, the blocking. A blocked FG on a free runner up the middle in the 4th that puts MSML up by 10.
Then the killer dagger was the blocked punt for a scoop and a score to win the game with a couple minutes left in the game.
They were not even going for the punt block. The outside rusher made an outside move and the blocker got off balance and he had a free run at the punter. Then, in a great move, the kid who blocked it put a shoulder into the punter while they were both trying to pick it up. THat was just enough of a nudge to allow him to scoop it up and run free for the TD.
It was extremely exciting to see, no doubt about that.
Two bad calls late went against MSML in the 4th. One was an INT, a great INT that would have made ESPN's top plays, and the official called a bogus head to head penalty on something that would not even get called in a flag football game.
Then on the last drive on 4th and long they called it an incomplete pass when the Flyer caught it. Now...they still had to go 70 or so yards but it is the Flyers. Taking the INT away was critical.
I wouldnt expect Coach Goodwin or the Flyer faithtful on here blame the officials, they have too much pride and respect for the game and still had the chances to win this game, but as an outsider just watching a great game I will say that call on the INT was FUBAR.
Great job Cards, goodluck against tuLCC next week.
