Bronco’s
Rally
Late
to
Repeat
MAA
Title
On
a
beautiful
fall
Saturday
specially
made
for
football
the
MAA
held
their
title
games
at
Bluhm
Field.
In
front
of
a
huge
crowd
the
Bronco’s
captured
back
to
back
titles
in
a
thrilling,
down
to
the
wire
win
over
the
Buccaneer’s.
For
3
quarters
and
8
minutes
this
game
was
dominated
by
the
speed
of
the
Buccaneer’s.
On
the
first
play
from
scrimmage
the
Buc’s
running
back
Ben
Hoffman
bolted
through
the
Bronco
defense
and
scored
from
54
yards
out.
The
Buccaneer’s
defense
also
proved
they
came
to
play
as
Ben
Hoffman
intercepted
a
Matt
Prekop
screen
pass
in
the
second
quarter
and
returned
it
to
the
Bronco
14.
From
the
14,
Ismail
Castill
scored
easily
on
a
reverse
hand
off
from
QB
Dan
Evans.
The
Broncos
where
able
to
answer
with
a
touchdown
of
their
own
on
a
12
yard
run
by
Prekop.
Touchdowns
came
easily
for
the
Buc’s
in
the
first
half,
on
another
touchdown
run
from
Hoffman
from
48
yards
out
and
a
touchdown
pass
late
in
the
second
quarter
from
Hoffman
to
Castilla.
The
Bronco’s
answered
with
a
65
yard
kick
off
return
by
Matt
Prekop
but
by
the
half
the
Buc’s
had
a
comfortable
26-12
lead
over
the
defending
champs.
In
the
3rd
quarter
both
defenses
settled
in
and
prevented
any
scoring.
The
Buc’s
missed
a
couple
of
golden
opportunities
but
where
constantly
driving
down
the
field.
On
a
late
4th
quarter
drive
deep
in
the
Bronco
territory
the
Buc’s
Dan
Evans
threw
a
slant
pattern
and
was
picked
off
by
the
Bronco’s
Dean
Bartel.
Now
with
only
4minutes
19
seconds
left
in
the
game
the
Broncos
where
up
against
the
wall.
Prekop
quickly
went
to
work.
A
couple
quick
pass
completions
to
his
main
receivers,
Jake
Reynolds
and
Justin
Hunt
the
Broncos
where
desperate
to
get
into
the
end
zone.
With
3minute
50
seconds
left
Prekop
drilled
a
14
yard
touchdown
Pass
to
Justin
Hunt.
Prekop
added
the
extra
point
and
now
the
Broncos
were
only
down
by
6
points.
The
on
side
kick
had
to
work
for
the
Broncos
to
have
any
hope
in
the
final
3
minutes
and
with
the
speed
of
Prekop
and
Bartel
the
Broncos
recovered
the
much
needed
pursuing
kick
off.
Now
with
the
game
in
the
balance
Prekop
took
control.
On
a
steady
diet
of
rolling
right
and
rolling
left
Prekop
marched
the
Broncos
down
the
field
quickly
and
scored
from
14
yards
out
to
tie
the
score
at
26
a
piece.
The
final
piece
of
the
puzzle
was
up
to
Prekop
for
the
extra
point
as
he
calmly
steeped
up
a
kicked
the
2
point
extra
point
the
Broncos
where
on
their
way
to
their
2nd
straight
title
and
their
3rd
in
11
years.
Vikings
over
power
Dolphins
for
3rd
Place
The
Vikings
casted
a
little
revenge
on
the
Dolphins
as
they
rolled
to
a
42-6
victory.
In
a
previous
meeting
early
in
the
year
the
Dolphins
handed
the
Vikings
their
first
loss
at
the
time
in
a
8-6
battle.
But
this
game
was
all
Vikings
and
all
Viking
running
back
Mike
Roberts.
Roberts
scored
on
touchdown
runs
from
11,
20,
15
and
a
punt
return
from
45.
Roberts
also
had
2
interceptions
as
he
seemed
to
be
controlling
both
sides
of
the
ball.
The
Dolphins
added
a
late
4th
quarter
score
on
a
pass
from
QB
Jared
Goodson
to
receiver
Ryan
Stefaniak
but
all
the
damage
had
been
done.
The
Vikings
where
lead
on
defense
by
Brian
DeGroot
and
Kyle
Pierce
with
7
flags
each.
The
Dolphins
where
lead
by
Kevin
Shoenbach.
