12:0 Sieg gegen Fulda
Sunday 23 April
The Frankfurt Family hosted the Fulda Iron Horse visited the Family home field on the Pforten Strasse.
Both teams enjoyed the warm weather and blue sky. At exactly 1500, the ball was kicked, and two very strong teams began to battle. It proved to be a very strong defensive battle, as each side refused to allow the other´s offense to find a rhythm. Both teams were unable to move the ball with very little effectiveness, Not until late in the second quarter was the Family to cross the fifty and two plays later, James Cameron was able to break several would be tacklers, and cross the opponents goal line. The extra point attempt failed, and the halftime stood 6-0.
Frankfurt was able to mount a sustained drive, opening the second half. Though the team from Fulda was up to the challenge, and stopped the Family on the Ironhorse´s one yard line.
The game retained it´s characteristic, the both team stiffened. It was not until late in the fourth quarter, when Joe Bet broke away for 55 yards, and sealed the victory.
Fulda´s wind was out and the game ended as it had started with the Family´s defense recording three consecutive QB sacks.
“ We played hard today, and were able to overcome several mistakes. Our Defense was outstanding, and set the tone. Defensive Coordinator ,Coach Rayward, had the dogs out.
Numerous turnovers and opportunistic plays, showed all their, that the Family would not be stopped, and we weren´t!”
Fans from the visiting team, and players joined the Family´s team and the ever increasing fan interest in Fechenheim. (More than 250)
NEXT SUNDAY, 30 April, the Family will be in action again, hosting the Golden Dragons from Giessen. Kick-off is 1500. We hope to see you there.
