Superbowl CHAMPIONS!

dallin and i... along with our favorite forsyths (and some others), joined a flag football league. after a season battle we ended up champions! i've included the highlights from the Superbowl... oh and the 12 and 21 thomas jerseys, it just happened to be our best play "twelve twenty-one baby!" Bunch a' sweaty scrubs....

Congratulations to Jacobs for winning the Concourse League championship last night!! They defeated Auto Trader 27-21 in a classic game that went down to the very last play.

Auto Trader jumped on the scoreboard 1st with a long bomb on their first drive of the game to take the lead 6-0. Jacobs would have to punt on their 1st drive but would be able to tie the game after an interception would give them the ball back. After the 1st quarter the game was tied 6-6.

The 2nd quarter was just as tight as both teams were able to score and both defenses made some excellent plays to keep the game tied 12-12 at half. Auto Trader would score 1st on an interception return for a TD and after the extra point they would lead 19-12. Jacobs would answer back but was unable to convert the extra point and Auto Trader would still lead 19-18 after 3 quarters.

In the 4th quarter Jacobs would score a female TD for 9 pts to lead 27-19 but Auto Trader would intercept an return the extra point to a 2pt score and the would trail on 27-21. Auto Trader would get an interception to get the ball back with less than 5 minutes to play but Jacobs team Captain Lisa made a great interception to give Jacobs the ball back with a chance to put the game out of reach. Auto Trader's defense tightened up and on 4th and goal knocked the ball away to get the ball back with less than 2 minutes and no time outs.

Down 6 Auto Trader would need to drive the entire field to tie the game up. They were able to move the ball to the 40 yard line and had one final Hail Mary for a chance to tie. The Auto Trader receiver slipped and Jacobs was able to knock the ball down and seal the win 27-21. Congrats to Jacobs and Auto Traders for a GREAT Championship game!


here's the oposing team... our season enemies. in the season we actually lost to them, for our only loss. they were serious trash talkers, and well one thing led to another and some guy on their team swung at our team... wasn't pretty. alas, these thugs went DOWN in the superbowl! haha!

Of course you're the champions! I wish I lived close to play. I might not be good, but I'd enjoy it. You'd probably fire me from the team. ha ha ha

Love the shirts! You need those to be on your Christmas letter... haven't I convinced you to join that club yet? I love love the shirts... maybe put this picture on your blog sidebar... just too awesome for words and yet says so much. You could post the picture and under it say "a picture speaks 1000 words". Ain't it the truth, ain't it the truth.

I find it almost eerie that in the softball leagues Nate and I are in, my # is always 12 and his is 21... no joke! How weird is that? Those happen to be our favorite numbers.
