Week 8 - You Are Not Going To Believe...

Oh wait, yes you will, we LOST!!!! Unfortunately we actually played the best game of the year defensively (have you noticed a pattern?). Even offensively we had our moments. Here is the quick run down of the game.

We scored first...Bulldogs 7-0. The Comets quickly replied with a touchdown of their own, halftime score 7-7. We came out in the 3rd and played well. In fact we went up 14-7. These are probably the first two times we have actually lead in a game apart from the victory we had in overtime. Of course our only lead came in overtime during that game and it ended the game. Okay, back to this game. About mid fourth quarter, the Comets struck again and tied the game at 14. With under a minute left, the Comets quarterback dropped back and threw a bomb. The receiver caught it, despite good coverage, and scored...but wait, a flag was on the ground. Lucky for us there was offensive pass interference called. Our defense held and we went to overtime.

Overtime, I have shared my thoughts about the structure before, we are 1-0 in overtime. Our only win came in overtime. We took the ball first and on 3rd down threw an intereception in the end zone. The pressure now falls on our defense. On 3rd down and 1 the quarterback ran in for the winning touchdown. Comets 20...Bulldogs 14. Heartbreak.

I told you last week to stay tuned for eventful ways that we will lose our final three games. Game 1 of 3 - lost in overtime. Next week we take on the Tigers, who by the way are pretty good, but whose not when the Bulldogs come to town. Stay tuned!

That is a heartbreaker. Sorry for that one.

As for your next game, I believe all teams called the Tigers will lose next week.

That bodes well for St. Louis and the Bulldogs...

If it makes you feel any better, Julie's high school (#1 in Washington state) lost on Friday also.
