Colts move to 2-1 with 28-7 win over the Chiefs

On what I would describe as a bitter, blustery night the CN Colts moved the record to 2 wins and 1 loss on the season in defeating the Nevada Chiefs. One look at the parents bundled up in the pictures in the post below will give you some idea of the conditions for the 4th week of the Flag Football season. Temperatures in the 40's along with a strong (30mph) wind and a constant light to moderate drizzle made for tough conditions to say the least. Even worse for the Colts is the fact their offensive coach, me, has a tendency to like the forward pass. Evidenced by the total of 3 running plays in the reportoire. Luckily Dennis Clatt, the defensive coach, has had the kids playing superb defense all year, thus taking a lot of pressure off my play calling. THE GAME: Colts lost toss but somehow go the wind behind them and the ball to start the game. 1st - wet ball hits ground on snap, 2nd - wet ball again hits ground on snap, 3rd - fake to left and thenzig-zagging run by Garret Tiarks gains 10 yds., 4th - Tanner Clatt is sacked just as he gets the throw off.
