ANNA MARIA – Heading into week six of adult flag football play at the Island’s community center, team Catalyst, led by Jon Moss, remains undefeated and looks to be the team to beat going into the playoffs. The Moss family is well represented on the squad with J. Moss’ father, Ed, playing alongside cousins Greg and Brent.
On the other side of the field, Ryan Moss worked the field against his family members, with lifelong friend Jordan Demers for Rays Ramblings. Alongside R. Moss, James Roadman played against family members Zach and Evelyn Long on Catalyst.
This game exemplifies the spirit of recreational sports at The Center, where friends and family find themselves week after week battling it out on the field or court for the big win and a lot of fun.
J. Moss, credited with five passing touchdowns, hit Greg Moss and Brent Moss for a total of 24 points. Z. Long caught another TD throw and scored on a point after conversion play for the team’s win.
Jesse Skipper’s 10 catches for Catalyst helped to move the football down the field. On defense, Skipper’s quarterback sack kept R. Moss on his toes in the backfield.
In addition to three touchdown throws, caught by Karri Stephens, and Jesse Griffin with two, R. Moss had a pick-six interception nab. Griffin put more numbers in the statistic books with two interceptions of his own.
Rays Ramblings’ Bobby McMilan helped to keep the game close with an extra point and two receptions in the game. But the team’s efforts just were not enough, taking the team’s record to 3-2.
Catalyst meets a battered and diminished Cortez Deep Sea Fishing squad this week at 9 p.m. The young team, losing players to college, injury and illness, put a makeshift team together for the first game of the week for a fun game that gave TBT a win by forfeit.
This week’s 8 p.m. game has Rays Ramblings pitted against the 4-1 We The Best Lending team. Movement in the standings going toward the playoffs is still possible. The top seed is still up for grabs and hope is still alive even for the winless.
Everyone makes the playoffs and everyone still can be named champion at the end of the season.
