WEEK ONE: Results and Summary

It was an interesting first week for the 2010 Fishers Flag Football League. No one felt week one jitters like the Quarterbacks and Wide Recievers, though. Quarterbacks collectively threw for 10 touchdowns, versus 12 interceptions. And without Josh Chapman of the Black team, those stats would be 3 teams throwing for 5 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Incredibly, however, there was no shortage in scoring in the first week, as the Green team (which return many players from last year's championship team) took out the red team 35-14. Then in the second game the Black team's size and blocking ability was too much, as they routed the Blue team 49-20. Complete game summaries can be seen below.


GAME 1: GREEN VS. RED
The Red team came out firing on their first possession, and completed a great first drive with Kenne Crocker catching the first touchdown of the season. They would not score again in the first half however, as the Green team rallied back and closed the half at 21-7. The three touchdowns came from two interception returns for touchdowns from Kurt Novotny and Daniel Bucher, and a wonderful run after the catch touchdown from Kurt Novotny, who looks to be the fastest player in the league yet again.

The Red team was never really able to make close in the second half. Kenne Crocker caught his second touchdown to cut it 28-14, but they could never get any closer. The pass rush of Ben Wehner, Scott Cochran, and Adam Snively was simply too much, and led to 5 interceptions, 3 of which were from Nathan Elliott, and the other two already mentioned that went back for touchdowns. The stat sheet won't show it, but the pass rush and hurries are what really helped the green team here.

FINAL SCORE: Green 35, Red 14

MVP: Kurt Novotny: 2 receiving TDs, 1 INT TD


GAME 2: BLACK VS. BLUE
This game included the craziest final 2 minutes of any first half of football I've ever witnessed. Going into the 2 minute warning, the game was close at 7-0. But somehow the half time score was 28-7. A couple passing TDs from Josh Chapman, and long rushing TD from Mike Newsom, and an INT return TD from Dan Hagan really all happened before anyone could catch their breath. Unfortunately, the game never really got too much closer after it.

The size and strength of the Black team was really too much for the Blue team to handle throughout the game. The Black team piled on 5 sacks, 4 INTs, and 1 forced fumble. The game looked like it was going to be a close one late in the first half, but the shenanigans in the final 2 minutes was simply too much for the Blue team to come back from.

FINAL SCORE: Black 49, Blue 20

MVP: Josh Chapman: 5 Passing TDs

Week 3 Results

Sorry no MVPs this week.. I wasn't around for the Saturday games so I can't accurately give them. Feel free to respond with some info on great performances though.

Also, the Saturday team scores could be a bit off, correct me where I need it. But, as far as I know, the margin of victory should be right.


Black (28) vs. Blue (21)
Black (21) vs. White (14)
Green (42) vs. Red (28)


Last week of the regular season next week. Schedule will be up in a day or two.

Also take a look at the new poll. Right now the playoffs would be the day of the IU/Purdue game. Not sure what we should do yet. The next week is the Saturday after Thanksgiving so people may be out of town. Throw in your two cents if you don't mind.
