Big players make big plays in big games...

So there Your Flag Football Bucs were last night, all tied up 6-6 with five minutes left in the game. (The defense gave up it's first touchdown of the season on the opening drive of the game.) The Panthers had the ball on their own 20 yard line. The Head Ball Coach stepped into the Bucs huddle and said, "Someone needs to go get us a pick."


Little did we know it would happen on the very next play.

The Panthers tried a foolish little slip screen over the middle. The Playmaker jumped the route and made the pick (his second INT of the game). Bucs ball with about four minutes to play. We took our time in the huddle, burning time off the clock. Eventually it was third and goal from about the 8 yard line. We stepped back and let one of our assistants call the play. No dummy, he put split our two best players out wide on opposite sides of the field. He told each one to run hard to the middle of the field and then cut sharply to the respective corners of the end zone. The QB took the shotgun snap and dropped back.

The play ended with The Playmaker making the game winning touchdown catch in the end zone.

Bucs 12 Panthers 6.

For the game, The Playmaker had 2 interceptions, 5 catches (for about 50 yards) and 1 huge touchdown.
