5th grade TIGERS wins Second Consecutive CYFL Championship!

From the team blog: The battle hardened Tigers won their second CYFL Championship in an incredible game against Loveland Team #1. Team #2 struggled the entire game on offense and with 2:37 left in the game, Team #1 scored to go up 6-0. Team #2 roared back with an incredible drive that put them on Team #1's three yard line with five seconds left in the game. The Tiger 'O' line held like a stone wall as Dean Meyer dropped back and hit Reid Waddell in the endzone to tie the game at 6-6, with no time left on the clock. The Tigers missed on their PAT and headed in to their first ever overtime game. Team #2 lost the toss and started on offense. On the third play of OT, Brian McElveen, behind great blocking, exploded for 15 yards and put the ball on the two yard line. A QB sneak put the Tigers in the endzone, but a false start call cancelled the TD and put the Tigers back at the six yard line. On the next play, the 'O' line blew everyone off the ball as Brian exploded through the three hole, untouched for a touchdown. The Tigers missed the PAT and the score stood at 12-6.Team #2 put the game in the hands of their defense, which has been the backbone of this team all year long. The defense pushed Team #1 backwards forcing a fourth and 16 from the 26 yard line. Team #1's desperation pass fell incomplete under an awesome defensive rush to end the game. Congratulations Tigers on winning your THIRD straight Division Championship and your SECOND straight CYFL Championship!
