Mets Police Junior plays in the NFL Flag Football league and this morning's game was great.
In the kindergarten division, neither the Dolphins nor the Texans had had a winning season. The Dolphins trailed the entire game and scored on the final play of regulation to close the score to 14-13.
The coach decided to go for two. Everyone applauded the call and the commissioner said "that's the spirit!" and everyone agreed. One play, win or lose.
In flag football there's no kicking. Conversions are started from (I guess) 5 yards out, and 2 point conversions are twice the distance.
So they go for two.
The team lined up in a passing formation! Again, these kids are 5.
The QB droped back, and threw a wounded duck to a cluster of about 10 kids. Somehow a kid on his team caught it - but he wasn't in the endzone. The kid turns around and dodges a whole bunch of kids...and scores. 15-14!
What a great morning. Very fun for all. If you're interested in flag football definitely check out the NFL Flag Football program.
