June 27th,2004
Raleigh,NC
The International Flag Football Federation
held their fourth World Cup qualifing event
for the 2004 season this past weekend in
Raleigh,NC. Teams as far as Texas traveled
to the tournament. Several teams are
traveling early this years in hopes of
qualifing for the 6th Annual
World Cup Extravaganza which will be held in
the USA for the first time in 3 years. Only
80 teams will be allowed to participate in
the Open Inviational tournament which will
be played in February Fri,Sat and Sunday at
a date and location to be announced in July.
Guatemala’s Vicky Mendizabal who is
currently in the USA assisiting with the
tournaments states"having the World Cup in
the USA makes it more appealing and
affordable for International teams. I know
my team from Guatemala and Panama will be
present for Womens teams this year"
In the 7Man No Contact Championship it was
a shootout as hometown favorites Blincos edged
out the Scatbacks of McAllen TX 44-41 for the
Title. The Scatbacks traveled over 1500 miles to
qualify for the World Cup Invitational
Tournament.
The Scatbacks brought a quick and explosive
team to Raleigh, NC for the 2004 World Cup
tour stop. Their competitor in the
championship game was Blinco's Sports Bar
from Raleigh, NC. Blinco's received the
ball first and worked the ball down the
field quickly to a first and goal but the
Scatbacks stopped Blinco's on 4th and goal.
The Scatbacks drove the ball down the field
with their double quarterback schemes and
with their elusiveness. They scored on a
dump (don't know the player's name #1, we
just called him hips) and an impressive run
to go up 7-0. From that point on neither
team could stop the other but the Scatbacks
held the advantage on extra points 21-19.
The Scatbacks were going in for what looked
to be another TD (and they would get the
ball first in the second half) when Blinco's
picked off a pass before halftime. Blinco's
took the ball and scored quickly and the
half ended Blinco's 25 Scatbacks 21.
The Scatbacks received the ball first in the
second half and scored in 3 plays to go back
ahead 28-25. That would be their last lead
of the game. Blinco's threw a bomb to Jimmy
Grissett who scored 5 TD's in the game to go
up 31-28. On the insuing drive, Leslie Epps
of Blinco's intercepted a pass and Blinco's
capitalized and scored to go up 37-28. With
time running out the Scatbacks scored again
to make the score 37 to 35. The game was
intense but neither defense could stop the
other's offense. Blinco's and Scatbacks
traded scores again to make the score 44-41
but there was still an onsides kick and over
a minute left in the game. It all came down
to a 4th and 1 with 53 seconds left.
Blinco's quarterback, Tim Kilpatrick, eluded
the rush and ran for a first down that ended
the game.
