Getting their first win, the (1-3) Colts faced a tall order in their next bout as they took on the (3-0) Jets in a JCC of Bayonne Indoor Flag Football week three wrap up game. With their newly discovered offensive firepower the Colts launched into a scoring shoot out with the high powered Jets’ offense. In the first half, the Colts rang up 36 points with Talen Alsop putting 30 points on the board on 4 TDs including a “pick six” and three two point runs. Capping off the Colts’ scoring frenzy was Roman Popowski whose full court TD sprint was a hint of things to come in the second half. Boasting the league’s highest scoring offense going into the frey the Jets racked up 38 points on Aaliyana Cifuentes (1TD), Andres Giron (2 TDs, 6 expts) and Dylan Subacz (2 TDs). One of Subacz’s TDs came via a 26 yard interception return while Brendan McCall, Giron, and Cifuentes also helped their defense register a two point safety. Down 38-36, the Colts opened the second half with a toss sweep to Roman Popowski who raced in from 15 yards out making it 42-38, Colts. The Jets fired back with Dylan Subacz sprinting goal to goal while Aaliyana Cifuentes tacked on a two point scamper as the Jets took a 46-42 lead. Like a tennis match, the Colts returned the favor by storming the ball back up court as Popowski’s long TD run and Subacz’s two point blast shifted the lead back to the Colts at 50-46. Trading scores down the stretch, two TD’s by Andres Giron and two 2 point sweeps by Subacz helped put the Jets up 62-56 with 7 seconds remaining. The Colts needed a long TD run from Alsop to keep pace down the stretch and now it came down to one last chance and Alsop worked his magic by blazing full court for a game tying TD. With no time on the clock, the Colts lined up for the winning P.A.T. and once again Alsop took the reins and zipped around end for the game winner as the Colts stunned the Jets 64-62.
