For the first time in Santa Bowl history the YOUTH pulled out a 36-18 victory over the adults!!In 4 quarters of amazing football it was non-stop action by both teams. In the first quarter Luke Brewer (Santa Bowl MVP) caught and scored the first touchdown for the youth making it 6-0.
The second quarter saw the same Luke Brewer make his second touchdown of the game making the score at half time 12-6.
But at the start of the third quarter the Adults were able to run the kickoff back for a touchdown turning it into a 12-6 game. They stopped the youth on the very next possession and stomped all the way to the goal line on the Adults next drive but we were cut short of a touchdown and the youth took possession.
Once again it was Luke Brewer with the long touchdown play turning it into an 18-6 game. And later he scored AGAIN giving the youth yet another two touchdown lead. 24-6. But thanks to a fantastic interception by William Handy later on in the game the adults pounded it in with Jeremy Wilkins catching a TD. 24-12
On a side note William suffered a torn tendon in his hand after the interception and was taken out of the game. We sure missed his presence in the fourth.
Speaking of the fourth, things looked to be going well. The adults stopped the youth quick getting a turnover and turning it into a touchdown on the first play after Josh Stryder caught a long bomb taking it to a 24-18 game.
The youth tried to make a go out it but failed again. Some great plays brought the adults knocking on the goal line against the youth but were unable to score handing the ball back to the youth who on the very first play shot the ball once again to Luke Brewer (you hear his name a lot in this game I know) who got his FIFTH touchdown giving the youth a 30-18 lead.
Finally in a last ditch effort the youth tried a long bomb that was intercepted and returned for a touchdown by John Rockett giving the game it's eventual final score 36-18.
History was made as Caleb Wilkins was a no show (giving an advantage to the youth!) and the youth broke a 7 year losing streak. All in all a good game.
I'd also like to thank Mark and Mikey for being a no show. Dad was the lone ref out there and he sure needed an extra hand. (so did we) But thanks go to all the youth who played liked champions and earned that victory.
C-ya next year at SANTA BOWL 2009!!!!

Sorry, we had a guest arrive at our house just before the game. When the game started, we were still visiting and spreading Christmas cheer.
Yeah...and I just plain forgot. And then after I talked to you I realized there just wasn't enough time. We would have won though had I been there. Run and tell dat!
