Fall Gentlemens Flag Football in Redmond Mondays

In a game that came down to the last play, Alan S earns this week's Player of the Week award for his great performance on both sides of the ball, including swatting away a pass that lead to a game-saving INT on the last play of the game. Alan caught a TD, had numerous flag grabs, and the clutch move at the end of the game. With seconds left on the clock and the opponent needing a score to secure the victory, Alan swatted a well thrown pass out of the air into the arms of his teammate, who downed the ball in the endzone for a well-earned tie. Well-earned tie? Yes, I said that correct, as both teams played incredibly well in the first game of the season, and both teams seemed pleased with the result, knowing they had left it all on the field and given it their all. Congrats to Alan, and this looks like it'll be a great season.

Jesse's performance would have amazed the Seahawks' scouts on Monday. Jesse had a great defensive game! Jesse had 6 of the most exciting, spectacular, enthusiastic, buzz worthy, and athletic plays of the game. We watched in surprise and awe as Jesse made at least six great defensive bids on the ball, breaking up several Cobra Kai passes. Two of those bids ended up in interceptions that lead to points on the board. Jesse's performance was the main reason for his team's victory. Hold onto this moment Jesse, don't let it get away from you.

Phillip F earns this week's Player of the Week award for catching a game-winning TD with 18 seconds to play to help complete a miraculous comeback for his team, Straight Outta Kirkland. Down by 15 with under 3 minutes to play, exciting offense and stout defense gave Phillip the opportunity to come through, scoring on a 2 yard run to cap the comeback. Good luck next week, guys!
