Lavaca Arrows K-2nd grade Flag Football Team remains undefeated!
Saturday’s games were postponed due to weather but Tuesday was a beautiful and near perfect night to play football. The Arrows played two games Tuesday night. First up, the undefeated 2-0-2 Arrows take on the Tiny Tigers of Charleston. This games was tied up 12-12 at the half. The Tigers had the ball first to start the second half. The Arrows defense came up big keeping the Tigers off of the scoreboard. Then two plays later, number 22, Jake Wibbing’s hard run put the arrows up 18-12. Charleston answers back to tie it up at 18-18. Then Miken Irby (#2) took the ball on an end around to give the Arrows the lead once more 24-18. As time ran out Charleston scored again to end the game tied at 24.
The Hackett (Black team) game was also a slug fest. This game went back and forth all night. The offense for both teams proved to be unstoppable. First play of the game Hackett breaks out a 20 yard touchdown run and led 6-0. Lavaca battled back with a sustained drive on hard running from Jake Wibbing (22), Miken Irby (2), and Breck Austin (3). The drive was capped off when Jake Wibbing (22) threw a touchdown pass to Miken Irby(2) to knot it up at 6. Lavaca scored one more time before the half when Jake Wibbing’s hard running would not be denied. Lavaca trailed 18-12 at the half. It only took two plays to start the second half for Lavaca to tie it back up. Wibbing (22)had an 18 yard run followed by a 2 yard touchdown run by Breck Austin (3). The game went back and forth until time expired with the score, yet again knotted up at 30.
These young Arrows are exciting to watch. There is no quit in them. Coach Zac Draper said, “what we are doing is trying to build up a culture here”. It definitely starts at this level. The culture here in Lavaca is starting to get there. We have exciting things happening through out our sports at all levels. I’m excited to see how this young group of Arrows grow over the next several years.
As Always,
Go Arrows!!
Arrow Pride!!
