(S17) - PT4 - Overturned

[TomHanks]

Oh man I know exactly which play I’d like to have overturned if I could. It’s still etched into my mind. Now I know when a lot of people think of the S14 DSFL playoffs, what comes to mind regarding me is the 96 yard touchdown I scored to knock the Marshals out of the playoffs, ending the Fab V’s reign of terror on the league. And don’t get me wrong, I love that moment, it was something else. But that only got us to the championship. It’s the Ultimini where I want a play overturned. The score is 20-13 for the Pythons and they have the ball. Armstrong is doing what Armstrong does best and marching down the field, passes it into the end zone, and scores a touchdown to give Portland a 27-13 lead with just the 4th quarter to play. We need a big spark from the team to give us any chance. So, we turned to our big play guy, who at the time was me. They kick the ball off and I do what I do best and start running. Blockers out in front, I had a lane and I was hitting it. With blazing speed I make it past the last defender, the away section of the stadium is going absolutely wild, our bench is going crazy, and then all of a sudden I trip. Fell down clear of anyone on the 1 yard line, and I don’t make it into the end zone. Sure, we scored the next play, but at that point it felt like the spark that was gonna carry us to the finish line died.
