Although the season is still relatively young, we have had many dramatic moments so far. Several of our games seem to have come down to a critical moment or singular play that swung the whole thing. Probably no game is more emblematic of this than our matchup against the Cape Town Crash. It was a tight contest the whole time, and the Wraiths entered the fourth quarter with a six point lead over Cape Town. Just before the end of the third, the Crash had returned a punt 41 yards and set themselves up for decent field position. From there, they had a few solid gains and some penalties to set themselves up well at the Wraith 20 yard line. If they score here, they take the lead. On second and seven, quarterback Jerrith IV was sacked by a blitzing Jack McPherson for an eleven yard loss. This set up an eventual fourth and thirteen and a missed forty-two yard field goal by Cunningham. The Wraiths would go on to win this game 17-15 in the tightest win so far this season.
