SNAP WHAT? The fourth seed, Snap This!, wins three games in one day to claim possession of "The Drunken Boot".
"The Drunken Boot" is the trophy awarded to the CSA Weekend Flag Football champion. A quarterfinal rout of SEC Extreme, was followed by a thrilling one point victory over top seeded We Like Football, and then another runaway win in the championship against Billy Otis. Being the fourth seed, Snap This! had to win three games to capture the championship. First up was the fifth seed, SEC Extreme. Snap This! came out of the gate on fire and set the CSA record for points in a half. At the break they led 35-0. They finished the game by tying the league record for points scored in a co-ed game, winning 48-8. This advanced them to the semi-finals against the top seeded team, We Like Football. In a tight contest, ST took an early 7-0 lead. That was the score with under a minute to go in the first half when WLF managed to get on the board. The conversion attempt failed and Snap led by one point at the half. On the first drive of the second half, ST put another score on the board and extended their lead to 13-6. WLF once again trailed by one score, and once again managed to put the ball in the endzone. However, after cutting the lead to 13-12, the extra point attempt failed and they still trailed. WLF got the ball back one last time late in the game, but three straight sacks by Snap This! ended the game and advanced them to the championship round. In the championship they were matched up with Billy
Otis with "The Drunken Boot" on the line. This one wouldn't be close. Snap This!
stormed out and put a touchdown on the board on the first possession. Then after a
turnover, they scored again and led 13-0 ten minutes into the game. Billy Otis hung in and
drove down the field methodically, putting the ball in the endzone and cutting the deficit
to 13-7. That was as close as Billy O would get. They couldn't stop the Snap offense, who
drove the field for another touchdown. With the score 19-7 late in the half, Billy Otis
got in goal to go with under 30 seconds and a chance to go to halftime down one score, but
a dropped pass in the back of the endzone on third down and an incomplete on fourth down
stopped the threat. |
