Congratulations to NH Funeral Home on winning the 2012 NHYF Flag championship Saturday with a 6-0 win over Pool & Patio.
North Haven Funeral Home (6-2) won their last game of the regular
season to earn them the right to play against Pool and Patio (7-1) in
the Youth Flag Football Championship Game on Saturday, 11/3/12 ay
Vanacore Field. The only loss Pool and Patio had all season was at the
hands of North Haven Funeral home at the midseason point but Pool and
Patio was missing a key player due to an injury.
The Championship Game lived up to its billing and was the most
exciting game of the season. North Haven Funeral Home's Matt Dodge
went 38 yards on a sweep right in the second quarter for a touchdown
but the extra point was not successful. Pool and Patio made their
adjustments defensively and did not allow another score all game. On
the final drive, with 2:32 and 2 timeouts left in the game, Pool and
Patio took a handoff and ran down the left side of the field for what
appeared to be a game tying touchdown but the runner had stepped out
of bounds at the 45 yard line. With the clock ticking down, North
Haven Funeral Home kept stopping the potent running attack but with
each play, Pool and Patio kept getting closer and closer to the end
zone. With no timeouts left and with only 8 seconds on the clock, Pool
and Patio tried one last time to drive right up the middle on North
Haven's Funeral Homes unrelenting defense. With the crowd screaming
and the clock showing 0, North Haven Funeral Homes Defense tackled the runner
at the 3 yard line to seal the Championship.
What a game.... North Haven Youth Football Program wins.
