“Well, this was a fantastic game, of that there is no doubt! After a hard-fought series both teams had to settle with what was overall a fair result, a 1-1 draw. Having said that, there was so much action that the game could easily have been anywhere in the range 3-0 to 0-3!
The action was fast-flowing and included a sudden and massive Blitzkrieg, tackles on the goal line, pigskin pinball in the corner between the two stands of fans tossing the football back and forth, two "textbook" passing plays for Karak, Jimmy "Two Tails" Lucchese single-handedly romping home for a touchdown, and more trips and stumbles than either coach would care to recall!
Both teams had numerous chances to win the game but on each occasion the other coach proved their equal with cunning defensive play. Overall, both coaches played to the strengths of their teams and went for the win resulting in a heap of excitement for the fans.
“NCBB S20 NonAQ Conference Play 1st match for Karak, 2nd for KFR
After differing to the 2nd half and kicking off, the Reptiles opened up with a blitz. Getting around where the ball was going to land, they looked to be in excellent position to take the early lead. This was helped by Karak's early turn over on a Skull rr Skull block. Sure enough, a Skink grabbed the ball and headed for the EZ--but decided not to GFI as the dwarves are 'known' for dirty tricks like putting a trip wire at the EZ. This was their undoing, as Thompson was able to break away and knock the ball carrier down--as well as himself! The ball bounces into the corner of the EZ and the Skink tries to pick it up--but fails. After the A&M crowd got tired of throwing the ball around, Thompson was able to get to where it landed and heaved a short pass to Larry, who started the long sprint for the opposite EZ--eventually getting there on turn 8. Karak goes into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
2nd half, KAMU kicks the ball too short, and the resulting 'penalty' gives the ball the Jimmy, the Reptiles Krox. There wasn't much the dwarves could do to stop him, as he scored on turn 3--scoring early to hopefully set themselves up for a win. From there though, it was mostly a scrum as the ball changed hands a few too many times as time ran out on the dwarves of Karak and the game ends with in a 1-1 tie.
No skills, but both teams fans loved the game, as it was a very exciting one! ”
