At 7:45am last Thursday without knowing it the flag football team would board a bus en-route to Iceland in Mississauga to make history!
Taking the field for their first game in the bitter cold and gusting wind, the team held onto their great attitude and battled on despite the frigid conditions. After some great plays, and back and forth play Crestwood was not able to overcome the size and speed of their opponents. Crestwood lost to Bond 28–0.
After a short break, a quick warm up and anchoring the Crestwood News Flash the team was ready for their second game.
Losing the coin toss, but coming out hard on defense the team crippled Lynn Rose’s offence. A surgical throw by our quarterback would make it into the hands of our receiver. With a two toe drag before leaving the back of the end zone Crestwood went ahead 6-0. Though Lynn Rose would battle back to score, Crestwood would come away with an impressive 6-6 tie.
In what would be the final match of the day, the team would find Crestwood’s first ever flag football victory! With interceptions, amazing runs, and highlight worthy catches, Crestwood dominated their competition winning 32-0.
A big congratulation to the entire team on their effort and amazing play.
-Coach Cooper
