Events that are rapidly becoming favourites on the LOC calendar, the coaches had a tremendous Sunday of activities last weekend.
Starting off with the division aligning event decided by a current champ coach Wells, the league took a trip to go karting. As expected, some people were great (coach Leach), while others seemed to be enjoying the scenery (coach Merritt). The fastest lap was set by Coach Leach, followed by Coach Wells, so they would be the flag football captains later on. Finishing at the bottom was Coach Merritt, with Coach N. Stubbs in 10th, so they lead in the first two positions for the actual race. While Coach Merritt tumbled down the standings swiftly, Coach N. Stubbs managed to hold his 2nd place position, only being over taken by Coach Leach who went ahead of the entire field (lapping Coach Merritt 4 times). Coach Wells also managed to battle up the field, finishing in 3rd. They formed division 1 along with Coach Nunn. Tom, Ollie B, Pat and Ben would form division 2, with Ollie G, Dave, Viv and Phil joining division 3.
Onto the flag football. With the first pick, Chris selected Ollie B as his QB, while Nigel took Dave. Chris (unsurprisingly) took Tom with his next pick. Nigel pulled a bit of a stunner, selecting a Questionable Pat Allen ahead of Nait, who went to Chris the pick after. Viv, Ben and Phil would also join team Wells, while Ollie G joined team Chris.
Team Chris won Rock Paper Scissors and elected to defer. Team Nigel was held on the first couple of plays, until a blown coverage let Ben go the length of the field for a TD, putting them up 6-0. Drops would stifle Team Chris's first drive, but they would force an interception on Team Nigel's next drive, which was capitalised on by Ollie B with a beautiful lofted throw to the corner of the end zone to Nait. Chris hauled in the PAT, putting it at 6-7.
The next couple of drives didn't advance or ended in an interception by Viv. With the final drive of the half, team Nigel drove down the field and punched in a TD with a toe tapping effort by Phil at the back of the end zone, making it 12-7.
After the half however, it was all one way traffic. The two Ollie's connected, and Ollie G advanced the ball all the way to the 5 yard line. Ollie B once again looked for Nait, hitting him on a 5 and out on the goal line, his second TD of the day, making it 13-12.
The next two drives would end in disaster for Team Nigel. Dave struggled throwing into the win and threw two pick sixes to Tom, which were both returned a long way for TDs. Nait would haul in a PAT on one of them, bringing the score to 26-12.
Team Nigel struggled on their next drive, but a clutch 4th down conversion by Pat just gave them the first down. However, they would eventually turn the ball over on downs. With the final drive of the game, the two Ollies connected again, though Ollie G lost the first down trying to dance his way past a group of players. No matter, on the next play Ollie threw a check down to Nait, who with some side stepping moves would cruise to the end zone, putting up his 3rd TD of the day.
The last play of the game, the PAT, cemented the victory well. A snap to Ollie B was thrown back to Tom, who threw a lofted pass across the field to the corner of the end zone for a chasing Ollie B, resulting in a final score of 33-12.
Tune in for the podcast this week for the MVP of the game. With the festivities done, divisions aligned and schedule set, the coaches attention now turns to the draft on September 3rd. Fantasy is back, and we're loving every minute of it.
