On Sunday night at the Hawkeye Recreation Fields, Just the Tip won soundly over Cruncheazy, 26-7, to claim the men’s Open League “B” flag-football title.

Just the Tip had a litte more difficulty winning its semifinal match against Cougar Bait, while Cruncheazy cruised over Fluffmans, 34-6.

Just the Tip’s contest came down to a last-gasp series of laterals by Cougar Bait as the squad attempted to tie the game up as time expired. After six or seven pitches, Just the Tip managed to disrupt the play and win, 21-12.

“After the win, I was waiting for all the ladies to rush the field,” junior Caleb Andes said. “But then it didn’t happen, which was really kind of depressing.”

The team members will get T-shirts from Recreational Services for their efforts this season, but won’t be able to play in the All-U championship.

“We fought really hard,” senior Tyler Brodell said. “And today, we are the best of the worst.”
