Moms Vs. Daughter Flag Football

Last night in Manhattan there was a moms vs. daughters flag football game for all of the Chief organization.  Not everybody showed up but a good amount did.  We started practicing at 4:00 PM with our team and one of the football coaches.  None of us really knew what we were doing except for the two girls who have brothers that play football.  Once we caught on it was really fun but still confusing at times.  After 2 hours of running through plays and practicing our defense, we started the game.  The coaches of the moms thought they were going to slaughter us because most of our girls weren’t very big and didn’t play a sport the required a lot of running and physical activity, but boy were they wrong.  The moms started off with the ball but we were able to quickly shut them down and get the ball on offense.  After running a couple of our plays that we had practiced, we scored our first touchdown! This gave us a lot of confidence and showed everybody that we have what it takes to win.  We soon scored two more touch downs, but the moms also scored one.  The score was then 20-6.  Since the game was only just for fun, the refs started to call really dumb things on us like interferences and fouls, even though we really didn’t do anything. Finally the game was almost over but the moms were very close to the touchdown line.  They somehow got through us and scored a very impressive touch down just before the time was out.  Somehow the score board got changed and showed the final scored with us girls with 26 and the moms with 27, so us girls apparently “lost”. But that’s okay; I guess there is always next year!
