Mob Edges Hurricanes for Championship!!
MOB of Miami,Fl won the Let it Fly 4Man nationals this past weekend by
narrowly defeating the Flagmag Hurricanes 13-12 to become the eighth team to hold the
honor. No team has repeated as champions. The Hurricanes however won it in 1996. The MOB
started the scoring when QB-Richard Obara connected with Albert Leon on a 15 yard post
pass, the extrapoint to Leon was good and MOB took a 7-0 lead. The hurricanes struck back
on a 10 yard pass from Manzella to Sloan, the extra point failed and MOB lead 7-6. With
under two minutes remaining in the game MOB's Derek(Tiger) Tunes intercepted a pass. On
the next play Dwaine Neal took a handoff and raced 35 yards to paydirt for a commanding
13-6 lead. With just under a minute remaining Manzella brought his team down to the MOB 15
yardline where on the last play of the game Scott Devine caught a TD pass to make
the score 13-12. The Hurricanes elected to go for two on the conversion for the win.. The
conversion pass was incomplete to Devine and MOB held on for their first Let
It Fly National victory.
