Wankers can't squeeze out a victory

ABL FLAG FOOTBALL - HOBOKEN, NJ -- The Trumps took on the Weehawken Wankers in what started out as a slog of a game, but turned into an exciting finish.

The Wankers started on offense but turned the ball over, giving The Trumps a chance to score, which they did on 4th down. Quarterback Isaiah Diaz threw a great pass into the hands of a falling Keith Spano for the touchdown. The Wankers responded right away, as QB Richard Hunt threw a pass all the way across the field, maybe 40 yards, into the hands of Kyle McCann. He made that catch look too easy, even with Trumps' tight defense.

On the next play, Hunt threw a touchdown pass to George Eder and converted to take a one-point lead. Talk about a sequence of touchdowns, because the Trumps get another one as Isiah throws a deep pass to Jimmy Principe, who runs the short distance and adds to his team’s score.

Weehawken Wankers lost motivation for awhile and The Trumps defense took over. Chase Larangera got an interception, which led to a rushing touchdown for Isaiah. If The Trumps had converted on their touchdowns, they would have had a larger lead, but went into halftime up 18-7.

Weehawken Wankers played much better defense in the second half and kicked off their offense with a long passing touchdown to Matt Bowmen, who catches it in the end zone on the first play. Wankers converted on every play and were only down 4, looking to make a comeback, and they had all the momentum. George Eder scored another TD for the Weehawken Wankers but despite their huge effort, they just couldn’t hold on.

Richard Hunt completed 19 passes of 29 attempts, and Chase Montani and Matt Bowmen each had a sack. The Trumps took over, Isaiah made two more great passes to Jimmy Principe for his second & third touchdowns of the game.

Isaiah Diaz completed 11 for 19 attempts in his huge performance, and we can’t leave out Semen Caner who had two timely sacs. The Trumps won 32-20 in this whirlwind of a game.
