M&M’s Garden puts muzzle o By Colin Gibson Week two of action in the the ee eeorets sie High School Field Sunday M&M pulled t ‘major upset, thanks to a gritty never-say-die (or bleed- to-death) second half perfor- mance by Richard Garden to nip defending league champion Dawgs, 28-27; Meznic Electric rallied from a frustrating first-game loss behind a rejuvenated Dale Mieczaniec, to Pop the pecs on the Muscle Pit, 28- 14, while the Longhorns were effectively tested to the final whis- tle before edging Plus Welding, 14- 10. « M&M 28 Dawgs 27 On paper, this one appeared something of a mismatch with the Dawgs coming off a one-sided 41- 15 win over Muscle Pit and M&M underachieving again in a 33-7 loss to the Longhorns. As those who follow sports know, however, there’s more to a game (any game) than paper work and in this instance it was the slightly gimpy Richard Garden who lit-a fire under his M&M team- oe and literally, rallied them to a “The Dawgs opened up a boring 13-6 half-time lead, courtesy of touchdowns by John Egan and Dennis Hanley, with Frank Bruno kicking a convert, while Horace Thomas replied with a major for M&M. Then things definitely icked py M&M's s Mark McKeon got a sin- gle on a long kick off then Garden kicked a field goal to narrow the Dawgs lead to 13-10: John Egan counted his second TD for the Dawgs (unconverted) but M&M’s Stu Hirst quickly counted one himself, converted by Garden and with time winding bee the Dawgs held a slim 19-17 Be was at this point that Garden Pulled his game up a notch higher and at the same time, yanked his mates along with him. He had inadvertently received a boot to the nose while scrabbling for a low throw and with his cheeks puffed-out and blood flowing from his nose, he kicked a field goal to put M&M in Hosts 20-19 for the first time in the Reliable Dave Clements lassoed a Pat McKinnon toss to put the Dawgs back in front 27-20, but M&M and ee in particular, refused to wi On the wecnaid Laat play of the game, he latched on-to a Horace Thomas throw for a TD, to tie the game, then Thomas combined with his cousin Roger for a bes -point convert that sealed the wi The game ball to Garden, plus a swath of cotton for an outstanding effort (and possible nose). Duane Wilson had an intercep- tion for the Dawgs, while Dan McCarthy and Doug Coulter had Pick-offs for M&M. Meznic Electric 28 Muscle Pit 13 This game almost didn’t get off the ground as neither team had spores players at the scheduled g After a 1 lengthy grace period the contest got underway and Dale Mieczaniec stole the show. Under normal conditions Mez Patrols his team’s sidelines as coach, with a perpetual scowl. Men’s Flag Football Sunday he took to the. turf because of a lack of players and his ‘mates showed some concern and Confided to the referee that his time in the 30 metres normally was recorded by a sun dial so not to expect too much razz-ma-tazz. In reply, the Mez played both offence and defence, scored 10 points and proved his brilliant tacti- cal side when he was spotted clean- ing his glasses on the field while his team counted its last touch- down. Even the spectating gophers ated this last bit of flag foot- ball acumen and clapped their paws in appreciation. Randy Lunn had two touchdowns for Meznic, with Steve (Grizzly) Crossman rounding out the scoring. Mark McIntyre and Todd DeMone counted majors for Muscle Pit with A ibe s Eineaky, Counting a two-point co1 The league Heratre rola be well-advised not to underrate the Muscle Pit youngsters. The team is dotted with good, young, speedy and aggressive ath- letes but need to show more consis- tency of both offense and defense to hit the win column. Longhorns 14 Plus Welding 10 This early in the season, the Longhorns are the loop’s only undefeated team, but this Sunday win was no walk in the grass. Plus Welding is remarkably improved both on offense and defense over last year, but in the game’s crucial final five minutes, Plus Welding, under capable quar- terback Paul Sargeant, failed to const first down opportunities ied the ball over to the wily “Hors 9 who know how to work the clock.
