As the National Football League begins its much anticipated regular season next week, the Anna Maria Island Community Center just concluded its Adult Co-ed Flag Football League. The Sun sports game of the week was the AMICC Super Bowl between the Agnelli Pools & Spa Giants and the Waterfront restaurant Raiders.
Agnelli Pools & Spa Giants quarterback Ryan Moss led his team to his second consecutive Super Bowl win in 2013. After winning the winter Super Bowl, where he threw for eight touchdowns in a commanding victory, he picked right up where he left off.
The Giants started with the ball on offense and on the very first play of the game, Ryan Moss threw a touchdown pass to Frank Agnelli. Agnelli caught the ball on the sideline, made a defender miss, and took it the length of the field to the end-zone. The extra-point was good on a Ryan Moss pass to Brent Moss and 20 seconds into the game, it was 7-0.
The Waterfront Raiders bounced right back though just like they did at the end of the season. Three weeks ago, they were in last place, and they crawled their way up and into the Super Bowl. Receiver Jason VanCleave took the snap, passed back to quarterback Chris Gillum who then passed back to VanCleave for the 22-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion was good on a Chris Gillum to Mike Gillum post pattern. 8-7 Raiders.
The Giants marched right down the field, and on a third and goal play from the three yard line, Ryan Moss found Brent Moss in the end-zone for the TD. The extra-point was no good, and the score was 13-8.
The Giants defense held strong and got them the ball back with three and a half minutes left in the first half. Josh Rio made a spectacular diving catch on a third and long to give his team a spark and a big first down. On the next play, Ryan Moss found Brent Moss in the back of the end-zone for the TD. The two-point conversion was unsuccessful, and the score at the half was 19-8.
The Raiders started with the ball in the second half, but went three and out. Giants quarterback Ryan Moss seized the opportunity to put the game out of reach. On their first offense play, he threw to Brent Moss on a deep post for the long touchdown. The extra-point was good to Frank Agnelli and gave them the lead 26-8.
With 15 minutes left, Chris Gillum threw a 28-yard strike to Mike Gillum for the TD. The two-point conversion was good to Matt Ray and the score was now 26-16.
The Giants used up some clock and methodically moved the ball down field. On third and goal from the 14-yard line, they used a trick play. Josh Rio took a handoff and rolled to his right. He then threw a pass to Brent Moss for the touchdown. The extra-point was unsuccessful, and the Giants increased their lead to 32-16.
The Raiders were forced into another three and out. Ryan Moss then threw a pass to Amy Moss who ran it 32 yards to the two-yard line. Two plays later, Rio took the handoff again, but this time passed to an open Agnelli for the TD. The extra-point was no good, and the score was 38-16.
The Raiders bounced back, and on second down, Chris Gillum found his favorite target Mike Gillum on a 35-yard fly for the TD. The two-point try was unsuccessful when Amy Moss got the sack and made the score 38-22.
On the next possession the Giants went three and out for the first time in the game, but only left the Raiders with 20 seconds in the game. They were unable to punch it into the end-zone again. Final score 38-22, and the Agnelli Pools & Spa Giants are 2013 Summer Super Bowl champions.
