1st Quarter
Problems with the clock forced a VERY quick quarter, where each team got to carry the ball for one possession (4 and out) each. No score in the 1st
2nd Quarter
Mike Dlugosh scores on a touchdown pass thrown by Robbie McBroom, and converts the FIRST 2-point conversion in Santa Bowl history making it 8-0.
The Adults force the Youth to punt (after the refs give them 2 5th downs in the drive!) but on the return the ball is muffed and the Youth get it on the 10!! Of course the Youth were able to capitalize on the error and Cohen Landry makes a short catch for a TD. 8-6
Adults storm quickly on the next possession but fail to convert a touchdown before another short quarter. On the last play however, Robbie McBroom suffers a cracked rib and has to leave the game.
3rd Quarter
The heat is on as both teams come out swinging. The Adult's defense is full of holes but thankfully 3 interceptions are able to stop every drive the Youth have. Adults Offense struggles as well and the score remains 8-6
4th Quarter
Adults score again on a long pass play to Kerry and lead 14-6.
They stop the Youth on the next drive but this is when one "wayward" ref started playing for the Youth.
A first down catch is ruled "no good" even though another ref ruled it fair, penalties for.... well we don't know what they were for... are called against the Adults, getting the Youth down the field. Several extra downs were awarded to the Youth to keep the ball alive. It was so bad even the Youth admitted it too...after the game : )
But even with all that help they couldn't avoid a 4th interception that ended the game. We were told before the snap that there were :58 seconds left in the game. But they'd all magically disappeared once the interception had been made..... hmmm.. : )
Final score: Adults win once again 14-6
It also turned out to be the shortest Santa Bowl EVER. Thanks to clock issues, the game ended AN HOUR EARLIER! Barely going over an hour and a half. (that's with a 15 minute half-time mind you) A record that tells you how bad the clock issues were.
But besides that the weather was better than the year before (an understatement I know) and everyone had a lot of fun... except for my brother Caleb of course : )

How on earth could there be so many clock issues?? No one had a watch? A cell phone timer? Gimme a break.
I have a feeling I know one of the refs making bad calls (and probably giving y'all speeches about each one he made)...... :-)
But way to go old dudes!!

Ha ha ha, so true.
The clocks issues, Dad says, were due to the timer getting wet. So I'm buying him a water resistant stopwatch for next year... no joke.
