III. AUGUST 20 & 21, 2005 – GAME RECAPS
CLEVELAND LIONS 14, DETROIT SEMINOLES 11
The Cleveland Lions gained control of first place in the MCFL, claiming their second straight win over the Seminoles. Although they were unable to take advantage of three Seminole turnovers in the second quarter, Cleveland’s offense started a scoring run late in the third quarter. Jon Hunek capped a six-play drive by hitting Mike Parris with a six-yard scoring toss with 2:45 remaining in the third quarter. Detroit responded with a 38-yard Rasko Apostolvski field goal, their first points against the Lions in their last eight quarters against them. Cleveland quickly struck again, needing only two plays, the second a 60-yard connection between Hunek and Melvin Stewart, to increase their lead to 14-3. Don Lonsway made two long receptions to set up DeUndra Evans’ one-yard plunge into the end zone, and when Robert Hunt hit Artez Baker with a two-point conversion pass, Detroit was within a field goal. Hunt was given one final chance to repeat his late-game heroics from the last regular season meeting between the two teams, but a holding penalty and a sack set up a near impossible fourth-and-29 with under a minute to play. After Hunt narrowly avoided a sack, Rico Franklin stopped Baker two yards short of the mark, allowing the Lions to run out the clock.
LOUISVILLE BULLS 20, KINGS COMETS 14 (OT)
Marcus Warren hit Bernard Barnes with a 31-yard touchdown pass to cap the first possession of overtime, enabling the Bulls to even their league mark at 2-2. The loss was the first of the season for the Comets. The completion was only the second of the game for Louisville, as the Bulls instead relied on a running game that piled up 204 yards. Five different Louisville rushers had at least 20 yards, topped by the 55 produced by quarterback Marcus Warren. Warren also accounted for the first touchdown of the game on a 16-yard second quarter run. Jitu Taylor added 43 yards on 10 carries, all coming in the fourth quarter and overtime. The Comets countered with three quarterbacks combining to throw for 202 yards. Starter Anthony Tyus was 2 of 5 passing before moving to receiver, where he led the team with five catches for 66 yards. Casey Strong led Kings with 112 passing yards, including a 35-yard touchdown pass to Rickey Staley on the final play of the first half. Ross Sferra led a game-tying drive in the fourth quarter, completing all but one of his eight passes for 74 yards. The Bulls had gone ahead in the third quarter when Charles Ricketts returned a fumble 27-yards to give Louisville a 14-7 lead.
INDIANA MUSTANGS 14, MICHIGAN TWISTERS 11
The Mustangs forced five turnovers, offsetting a sluggish offensive performance that produced 54 yards to gain a road win at the Twisters. Both teams took advantage of a short field to get on the board in the first half. Michael Schmitt’s 18-yard, first quarter interception return gave Indiana the ball at the Michigan 5. Ean Decker, seeing his first MCFL action of the season, followed with a seven-yard touchdown toss to Kenny Beatty. A short punt allowed the Twisters to pick up a Larry Kast field goal towards the end of the opening half despite moving the ball only seven yards. Indiana opened the second half with a commanding, 14-play, 81-yard drive that covered over 11 minutes, culminating in Jason Spear’s touchdown run from a yard out. Although they were held to 42 yards of offense in the second half, the Twisters were able to capitalize on Ramon Stallings’ fumble, picking up half their production for the half when Wright hit Travis Farkas with a 21-yard touchdown pass. Ty Gibson’s two-point run brought Michigan to within 14-11, but Stallings and Keith Jackson each intercepted a Wright pass to end the Twisters’ last two drives.
SOUTHERN MICHIGAN TIMBERWOLVES 21, FLINT FURY 6
The Fury posted their first score in league play, but were unable to secure their first win. Instead, the Timberwolves improved to 2-2 by more than doubling their offensive production in their first three MCFL games.
