May
31 , 2005- Tonight, the Sand Storm (1-1) did not bring their A game
when they came to face the Gamblers (1-1). Mark needed a win to
take control of his own destiny in the playoff picture.
Right
off the bat, the Gamblers started the game by stripping the ball
from Charlie and running it in for his first of 11 touchdown scores.
Charlie
would not be able to get a lead in the game, but did answer back
with a game tieing touchdown.
Mark
however, forced 2 defensive stops and stopped all three of Charlie's
onside throws attempts.
The
Gamblers also held the Sand Storm to 4 field goals which proved
to be the difference in the game.
Both
team had many exciting barnburners, off of the arm of quarterback
Howie Gogo. Gogo is riding a 2+ complete games without an interception.
He will try and countinue his streak this Saturday when the Icebergs
and Sparrows face off.
Notes:
-Gamblers scored who have never missed the post season, kept their
playoff chances high with the win
-This loss snaps Charlie's regular season win streak at 5 wins.
-Howie Gogo has quarterbacked 9 consecutive quarters without allowing
an interception
