A 6 year dynasty came to end on
Sunday December 04 as the Sarnia
Flag Football Association played its
final game of the season; the
Bluewater Cup Championships
featuring the up-and-coming Power
Champs versus the 6-time defending
champs, the Bluewater Power Titans.
In a very intense game that had both
teams having difficulty moving the
ball on offense under strong defense
from both sides, the Power Champs
held a marginal lead through the
game and finally ended the Titan
reign defeating them by a score of
14-12.
The Power Champs scored early while
the Titans struggled to get going on
offense. Late in the 2nd quarter,
the Power Champs added another major
making the score 12-0 at half.
Late in the 3rd quarter, the Titans
finally got on the board making the
score 12-06. It looked like
the momentum had shifted as the
Titans defense did a goal line stand
early in the 4th quarter. However, a
safety sack by "the Spider" Jay
Mathieu put the Titans down 14-06
with time running out.
But the Titans were not done. With 1
minute to 5 plays left in the game,
the Titans scored a touchdown and
needed to go for a 2-point convert
attempt to tie the game at 14.
Titan's receiver Teppa Wettergreen
seemed successful in the attempt and
the game seemed certain for
overtime, however, the officials on
the field ruled the play dead due to
an infraction at the goal line. With
the ball returning to the Power
Champs and 5 plays remaining there
was little the Titans could do but
wait for the hammer to fall and with
that, putting an end to the Titan
chance at a 7th straight
championship.
Congratulations to the Power Champs
who were 1st place after regular
season and are now crowned the SFFA
Champions for 2011.
The SFFA would like to thank the
players and all the supporters for a
great season. With this season
complete, the SFFA is already
looking to expand southward in 2012
with the a high chance that Chatham
will form the South Conference of
the SFFA.
