SCORE:     Flashes  27                           Warriors 7

"Flash" takes Flashes past New Egypt. Marcus "Flash" Rawls had to sit out the Burlington City game because of an injury suffered in the wilson game. anybody who knows Marcus, knows he did not like having to sit even though he knew we probably would win with out him in the game. Marcus is a competitor, his small stature (5' 8" - 160lbs?) dictates that when you play among the giants. He came back with a vengance, leading the "Mighty Flashes" to 27-7 win over previously the unbeaten Warriors. He got started early with a 51 yard scamper through the Warrior's defense to set up the Flashes first touchdown.



FLASHBACKS

"Flash" breaks through for a big gain
"Flash" had 21 carries for 233 yards and two touchdowns despite losing 125 yards because of two holding penalties (the second one negating an 85 yard touchdown). The fisrt touchdown was a 55 yard scamper through the Warriors defense on the first play of the second half as he eluded tackle after tackle weaving his way through the secondary. But this was by no means a one man show, Quarterback Jimmy "Snake Charmer" Martinson went 10 for 13 for 113 yards and two touchdowns completing 9 straight passes as the "Mighty Flashes" unfurled a suprise passing attack. The Flashes Jimmy found tight end Bryant "Lil Big Cat" Watts alone in the right corner of the endzone for a 13 yard score after "Flashes" first big run for the "Mighty Flashes" first score. He got them on the board again with a three yard toss to Steve "Not 2 Puny" Muni with just over 5 minutes left in the half. Josh "O M'gosh" Stillwell had 4 catches for 38 yards and Bryant "Lil Big Cat" Watts had two 29 yards. All in all, the "Mighty Flashes rolled up 303 yards rushing (not including over 150 loss to penalties) and 113 passing for a tot al of 416 yards.
"Big" Jim Narkun leads the defensive charge





UNSUNG HEROS  On the otherside of the ball, the "D" was just as outstanding. "Big" Jim Narkun, Kevin "Special Kay" Jiras, Chucky "Cheese" Taylor and Mike "Mr. Mean" Staton led a defensive charge that (1) limited the Warriors to 58 yards rushing, (2) kept them off the score board after a fumble recovery gave them a first down at the Flashes 12 yard line. (3) Held the Warriors to just five first downs. The "D" was swarming to the ball, beating their opponets to the point of attack, gang tackling (when necessary) and just plain overpowering them throughout the game.
