Week 9 - Playoffs Round 2 - Colts v. Titans
Stratton Faxon Mighty Mite Colts 44 Titans 40
The Stratton Faxon Mighty Mite Colts won a "whopper" of a playoff game today against an excellent Titan football team. This was a royal battle fit for a King, and the Colts came out victorious.
Declan Flaherty opened the scoring with his first of three touchdown plays, running behind the left side of the Colts offensive line for a 6-0 Colts lead. John Lagoy then scored his first of 3 touchdowns on a reverse play that featured a dominating block by TE Spencer Witter to seal the corner of the Titans defense and spring Lagoy up the right sideline for the score.
The Vaunted Colts aerial attack then took to the field. QB Michael Mathews connected on the first of his three touchdown passes of the day, completing a nice out route to Spencer WItter, who then sprinted up the sideline for the score. Mathews capped the play of on the extra point try, breaking free from a sack and connecting with Flaherty in the corner of the end zone for the conversion. After a Flaherty burst up the middle for his second touchdown of the day, Witter went back to the air connecting on deep pass to Lagoy. The Colts ended a furious first half of scoring with the advantage at 32-21.
The Colts picked up in the second half right where they left off, with Lagoy again scoring on a long run up the right sideline on a reverse play keyed by another crushing Witter block on the corner. The Colts finish their offensive scoring with Mathews connecting with Flaherty on a 4th and 5 play.
Despite all the scoring, the game was never a lock, with a determined Titans team answering almost every Colts accomplishment with one of their own.
Recognition is in order for the Colts offensive line, including Olivia Moran, Jack Lazor, Jack Moore, Jadon Jiminez, Dean Edwards, Aidan Stabnick and Peter Brown. This bunch opened holes all day, gave excellent pass protection to Mathews, and refused to lose.
Defensively, the Colts hung tough despite a furious 4th quarter onslaught by the vaunted Titans offense, coming up with a huge fourth down stop late in the game to seal the victory.
