A thrilling game! The Black Warriors defeated the Blue Thunder 30-28. They were down 20-8
early, came back to take a 22-20 lead with less than 4 minutes remaining, gave up a kick return touchdown to go down 28-22, then scored
the winning touchdown and 2-point conversion with 10 seconds left.
Still putting a border around pictures with Josiah (for my family's benefit). I have the hi-res version of all pictures on my home computer,
if you want one just ask (note: they run between 1.5MB and 2.5MB each, and don't zip well) |
Chasing the play (I missed the runner). |
|
Running back a kickoff. |
|
Blurry. Our runner (about to score a TD) is behind the ref. |
|
Forget who has the ball, but he's getting tackled. |
|
Stopped behind the line. |
|
I thought he'd make it into the picture. No such luck. |
|
The pile untangles. |
|
Gang-tackling. |
|
Power sweep left (Joe's back is visible to the left of #6 ). |
|
Tackled for a short gain. |
|
Not sure who had the ball here. |
|
Heading back to the huddles. |
|
Joe prepares to make a block (right side). |
|
Sweep right - great block in front. |
|
Forget who's got the ball. |
|
The battle in "the pit". |
|
Rolling out right to pass - Joe's sealing off the blind side. |
|
Good gain, but not quite a first down. |
|
Getting the snap. |
|
Took too long to focus again, and missed the play. |
|
After the play. |
|
Blue Thunder run a sweep. |
|
Everyone's in on the tackle. |
|
Running up the middle (you can just see the ball on the right). |
|
Tackled for little gain (Joe's just to the right - see the socks?). |
|
Breaking the huddle (Joe's on the far right). |
|
Tackled short of the goal line. |
|
Warriors' touchdown! |
|
Watching the play go right. |

I think this is a Thunder touchdown return. |

Returning the kickoff. 3 minutes to go, down by 6. |
|
Calling the signals. |
|
Converting a crucial 4th down. |
|

|
Joe looks for someone to block. |
|
