Season Record: 7-0

In what many have tabbed as an instant classic, the Dragons escaped from Washington, DC, with a thrilling 50-46 victory over the Eagles of Model Secondary School for the Deaf.

A whirlwind of a week continued after beating FCC on Tuesday as FSDB had to hop on a flight and travel to D.C. on Thursday morning.  Upon arrival, they had two walk-throughs to prepare for the game.  To complicate matters, they had to install our kick-off and kick-return units for this game, as the league in Florida doesn't do kick-offs.

"After a shaky start saw us down 0-16 (MSSD fumble ret for TD, recovering ensuing onsides attempt, and marching down for a TD), we regrouped and slowly chipped away at their lead.  A pivotal moment in the game came right before halftime, as we could score a touchdown with 12 seconds left in the 2nd quarter.  That brought the halftime score to 20-24." said Head Coach LeFors. 

The Dragons came out of halftime and stopped the opponent's first possession.  After that, FSDB scored and took their first lead of the game 28-24.  It was a see-saw battle, with both teams trading touchdowns after another.

It came down to the final MSSD possession after the Dragons scored with 1:06 left, and their defense held on to secure the victory!!!

Our next game is tonight vs Countryside Christian for the divisional crown.  If we win, we automatically secure a berth to the top bracket of the SSAA 8-man playoffs (called 4A).  If we lose, we'll have to hope to secure a wild-card berth into the 4A playoffs.  The game starts at 6:00 pm at HOME.  We'll briefly recognize our 3 Seniors a few minutes before the game begins.
