WEEK 7 - GAME OF THE WEEK

Woodbridge 35 - Michiana 28

The Gunslingers came to Woodbridge fired up for their inter division game, but the Barons jumped out to an early 10-0 lead , the half ended with Woodbridge up 10-7 as the defenses rose to the challenge ... the second half was a different story . .. the Gunslingers stuck to their running game as J. Stewart continually pounded the Baron defense wearing them down .. a J. Stewart TD run put Michiana up 14-10 , the Barons answered with a Jones -Drew TD run going back up 17-14.. Michiana came right back with a L.Polite TD plunge putting the Gunslingers back in front 21-17 , so much for the defenses .... then came a break for Michiana , R.Rice fumbled the ball and J.Harrison fell on it at the Woodbridge 38 yd line ... that cumulated in J.Stewart's 3rd TD run of the game , a 26 yd burst while fatigued ... this puts the Gunslingers up by 11 , 28-17 with 7:30 left in the game ... P.Rivers leads the Barons deep into Michiana territory only to settle for a FG making it 28-20 with 4:48 left ... the Barons kickoff and are hoping to get a three and out , on 3rd and 10 J.Cutler drops backs and everyone is covered but scampers for 10 yds and a first down ,BUT wait there is a flag ...it's the ever annoying off setting penalty bringing the play back [ the Barons had a 68 yd TD pass to T.Owens brought back earlier on a off setting penalty ] on the redo J.Cutler throws incomplete to a doubled S.Jackson and the Gunslingers have to punt ... the Barons start on their own 22 yd line with with about 2 1/2 minutes left with 3 time outs, P.Rivers leads an improbable drive to the Gunslinger 8 yd line with 15 seconds left in the game .... P.Rivers then connects with T.Gonzalez making it 28-26 .... with the game on the line the Barons handed the ball to R.Rice .. he redeemed himself for the fumble running it in for 2 points and a tie game ...The Barons opt to kickoff and the Gunslingers bring it out to the 37 yd line with ONE SECOND left and overtime looming.... J.Cutler kneels down BUT WAIT it's a FAKE before his knee touches he stands back up and throws a bomb to to J.Avant , everyone in the stadium is fooled except C.Finnegan who intercepts the ball and returns it 67 yds for a game ending TD ! When questioned after the game , Baron head coach said " in all my years in this game I've never seen anything like this , have you ? "
