Recap
Braxton Iliff-MurphyA touchdown, an interception and a 40-yard return of a swatted ball, making him the most complete playmaker on the field
The 12:35s and No Fly Zone played to a 7-7 tie at Wildcat Stadium, with each side getting one touchdown and a whole lot of action in the secondary. Braxton Iliff-Murphy was the star for the 12:35s, scoring a touchdown, picking off a pass and returning a swatted ball 40 yards. Xavier Davenport and Giovani Pelaez led the No Fly Zone defense with a trio of picks between them.
Braxton Iliff-Murphy was the headline name for the 12:35s, and he earned it. He hauled in a touchdown pass from Maddox Marsaglia, then came up with an interception of Finn Hopkins after the ball deflected off Maddox Pedon's hands and into Braxton's arms. He also made a big play on a swatted ball, catching it after Pedon tipped it toward the floor and running it back 40 yards.
On the No Fly Zone side, Luther Nuesken caught a touchdown pass from Finn Hopkins to put his team on the board. Hopkins had a busy day at quarterback, and he also got a notable catch of his own, hauling in a Charlie Waddell throw after the ball tipped off Bowen Ince's hands and into his for a big gain.
The No Fly Zone defense made life tough for the 12:35s' passing attack. Xavier Davenport came down with a trio of interceptions, one on a Maddox Pedon throw that was the debut throw of the season for Pedon, and two on passes from Kayson Link. Giovani Pelaez added a pick of his own from Kayson Link after the ball bounced off Xavier's hands and into Gio's.
The 12:35s defense had its own bright spots. Maddox Pedon grabbed an interception of a Charlie Waddell pass and also broke up a pass from Finn Hopkins, a play that could have been an interception if he had held on. Bowen Ince also picked off a Finn Hopkins pass, and Wally Barickman got a pick when the ball bounced off Dom Chiodo's face and into his hands.
Carson Tabaka provided one of the day's biggest moments. He hauled in a 95-yard hail mary from Maddox Marsaglia that nearly won the game for the 12:35s. He took a tough fall afterward and was bleeding from his leg, and the whole league wishes him a speedy recovery.
Liam Bair deserves a big round of applause for toughing it out. Coach notes say he played with a broken arm, which is a remarkable effort for a player his age. Kamden Doage did not play in this one.
Kayson Link had a tough day throwing for the 12:35s, with three of his passes ending up in No Fly Zone hands. Coaches note that the young quarterbacks on both sides had a lot of chances to make plays, and plenty of them came up in the middle of the field.
Overall, this game was a fun, back-and-forth battle with a lot of big plays and a lot of hands on the ball on both sides. Both defenses were active, and the pass rush and coverage made every drive a challenge.
