BY MONICA SIMPSON

SPECIAL TO THE SUN

ANNA MARIA ISLAND - Solid Rock Construction (SRC) ended the second week of adult co-ed flag football at the top of the ranks along with Moss Builders. In the first game of the night, WTBL kept the action packed against SRC.

Dominick Otteni and Jaret Rojas shared the passing credits in the game for WTBL. Rojas threw for two TDs. Otteni had one of his own.

On the other end of the pass was Brandon Kull, with two scoring receptions, and Anthony McCance scoring six points. Kull is also credited with an extra point conversion.

WTBL’s defense made a key play with the Otteni interception, but it just was not enough to earn their first win of the season.

Anthony Mannino worked hard on both sides of the football with an interception and two passing touchdowns. Helping to keep SRC undefeated, Mannino put 12 points on the scoreboard by running the ball into the endzone.

Peggy Smith, one of the top players in the league, made two catches for TDs and had three receptions in the game.

Solid Rock’s biggest rival yet this season, Moss Builders, closed out the night with their second win to keep them undefeated. In another close one, Ryan Moss threw for four touchdowns.

The hot hands of JB Shuck caught two of the TD passes. Moss Builders teammates Jesse Griffin and Jordan Demers each had a scoring catch.

Demers, Griffin and Shuck each made a point-after conversion, adding three points to the final score. Game stats give Shuck nine catches in the night-ending game for the win.

Moss Builders and SRC, both with a 2-0 record, face off in week three action.
