Sandbar handles TMT on the gridiron

ANNA MARIA – Heading into the second half of the adult flag football season, winless team TMT took another loss against Sandbar. Critical mistakes on offense gave the Sandbar squad momentum and points.

Matt Manger, with five passes for scores, also had two interceptions to his credit, including a pick six. Sandbar teammates Bradley Coleman, Brandin Holcomb and Anthony McCance were all targets for the Manger throws for touchdowns.

Adding to his team’s successes, Anthony Mannino had a scoring catch, along with two two-point conversions and a single point after. Currently, Mannino tops the receptions charts for the season with a total of 23 catches.

On the other side of the football, TMT’s QB Keith McQuillen had two passing touchdowns that were essentially nullified with two interceptions for his team.

Jason Caller ran one in for six points. Meanwhile, Connor Haughey had five total receptions, two for touchdowns. Haughey completed his stats for the game with a two-point conversion.

The efforts of team TMT just were not enough again this week, as they continue to look for their first win in the season.

With only a few weeks left in the regular season, Beach Bums hopes to get a W, while Catalyst fights hard to stay undefeated. The weeks already played indicate the championship is anyone’s to win… or lose.
