Flomaton Fumbles Away Win To Mobile Christian, 21-20

September 18, 2010

The Flomaton Hurricanes were handed a tough, come from behind loss Friday night by the Leopards of Mobile Christian, 21-20.

The Hurricanes were defeated on turnovers — four fumbles and a pass interception.

The Cane’s held a 20-0 lead in the second quarter when Mobile Christian scored on a seven-yard touchdown pass with about nine minutes to go in the half. The third quarter was scoreless, but the fourth was all Mobile Christian.

A Flomaton turnover resulted in the only Mobile Christian score of the first half with about nine minutes to go. Headed into the lockers, the Cane’s were still up 20-7.

With 3:45 to go in the game, Mobile Christian was in for six after a Hurricane turnover. The Cane’s blocked the extra point kick, 20-13.

Then with 2:28, the Canes lost the ball again, and Mobile Christian was in with a 25-yard pass. Mobile Christian faked the extra point kick and ran it in to take a 21-20 lead and win over the Hurricanes.

Neiko Robinson had two touchdown runs for the Hurricanes — 25-yards and 35-yards.

Flomaton will host the Jay Royals next Friday night.

    There’s no doubt that turn overs were the downfall here and especially the last the one with 2:28 left. The Leopards last hope to to win this game was to go for the ball which should have been double arm protected by the Hurricane backs. Three downs and punt would have likely sewed this one up. No one has mentioned the loss of our starting Quarterback Heemy Dixon for the second half. This brought the top wide receiver Newton to that position. You can’t throw to your own self. The Jay Royals is a classic game for Flomaton but not a regional game. After that will be Cottage Hill which is a regional game and then another big one, the Leroy Bears. The Bears are giving up to many points to weaker teams. Our canes are a young and talented team (4 seniors) and we will kick Leroys butt. “IF WE DON’T MAKE STUPID MISTAKES”
