Mighty Flashes get First Win

Flashes roast Ravens to even their recod at 1-1:        Slideshow

The "Mighty Flashes" (supposedly) didn't have a good game in their season opener against Maple Shade. Nobody stopped to consider that just maybe, the Wildcats have gotten better.

Without their top running back (Marcus "Flash" Rawls) people thought The Mighty Flashes wouldn't have much of an offense. After the Maple Shade melt down, they knew we didn't have much of a defense! Enter Robbinsville, even though our offense didn't score a lot of points the signs of potential were there (for those who know how to look). As for the defense, it's comming around. Granted, Robbinsville is no "Palmyra" or "Township" but Florence has a lot of young players and a some are playing new positions for the first time. Given time (to learn how to play their positions), to gel as a unit they'll get better. Running backs Quadir "Que" Franklin, Donnell "Eel" Cole and Daquan "Bulldozer" Chapman are first year varsity and Sam "Big Bam" Ugowe was third string last year. The offensive line is very young with Ian "Groovy" Groover and Jerome "Jay-Tee" Roach (who was injured in last year's game and missed the rest of last season and the Maple Shade game) the only starting seniors. However, "Big" Bobby Braun, Dahon "Man Mountain" Taylor and Trevor ""Hunter" Heydorn should start to get the hang of their blocking assignments with a little more experience. When they and the runing backs get their timing together the offense does click and the more aggressive passing attack the Flashes have this year will definately help the running game. If the defense keeps playing like they did tonight the Mighty Flashes will be right back in the playoff race where they belong. One game doesn't make a season whether it's a win or a loss so being one and one in two games isn't so bad.
