Game 6 Panthers II part9 Vs Federals
NYS 2007 LASVEGAS Fall League.
Mannn... waking up early to go Henderson is hard but not as hard as the loss that our "Boys in Teal" took this last game. Everybody made it to the field this past saturday... bright and early although some of our kids were still sleepy-eyed with pillow scars. "DD' tried to wake up and rally the Panthers team spirit but the first volley after the start whistle was sure pretty ugly. The Feds' scored on their first offensive run with #25 catching the Panthers half-asleep running it right through the middle of our defensive line. No extra point... though they kept blasting thru our use-to-be impenetrable defensive wall for easy TD's(lot's of miss tackles and halfhearted running). In truth, the Federal boys were not as big as coaches hyped them up to be nor they were as good or hadcore as previously reported. The Feds were a decent team but we know our boys had the talent to shut them down. The panther boys had the better record going onto the game and had the opportunity to knock the Feds out of the running yet during the firsthalf, the defensive team of the Panthers were playing anywhere but on that field that morning.They gave up one too many touchtowns. Too early perhaps or not enough "Wheaties" even Jeremy did not even let his turbo chargers loose. No snotbubbles popping,no big tackles, no big blocks, no interceptions and no celebrations. Were we spoiled by the 4 straight shut out victories and got complacent. We can point fingers,deliberate and argue about the two sides of the coin all day long but doing so will not give us back this past saturday's game. One more thing the Panther boys did not do this past game was "GIVE UP" the Panthers never gave up. They scored big on the second half with "DD" running an awsome kick return with no assitance or blocking whatsoever just lots of teal uniforms standinga round... Jeremy caught 2passed for TD's while the parents on both teams were getting into it eventually one of the Feds dad got kicked out of the game for unruly behavior. At the 2nd half, the Panthers defense finally started showing signs of life but the clock was aginst the Panthers and time did run out. This and the early lead that the Feds had during the first half took its toll. The Panthers lost by 5 points. Having 4 straight victory shutout wins tells you a lot about a team... personally I think the Panthers team just lost faith in themselves and all it took was a little sliver of doubt... that the Feds were a bigger,better and faster team and a suprise TD from the Feds to set the tone of the game. The Federals really needed this win to stay in the running ...more than the Panthers and they showed it on the field. No one to blame but ourselves. No bad calls from the refs and the Federals played a good game. Both teams showed "Moxie" ... just that the Federals had more of it this past saturday than the Panthers.

Definitions:...When a person was said to be "full of Moxie", meaning that the person was skillful, or spirited...


Final score: Panthers-19 Federals-24
