Team Mega Human stays perfect on the season

Team Mega Human remained undefeated on the season, beating Sesinado’s Gent’s Cut by a score of 19-0 on Wednesday.  The Mega Human defense posted its second shutout of the season, bringing TMH (3-0) one step closer to its goal of a league championship.

        Sesinado’s Gent’s Cut dictated the tempo of the first half, driving the ball down the field twice but failing to score in the red zone.  TMH’s offense had only one possession in the half, but put the ball in the end zone to go up 6-0.

        In the second half the Mega Human offense started clicking, even running some trick plays for the first time this season.  Wide receiver Kyle Thomas took a pitch from quarterback Rob Meussner and threw it down field, finding a wide open Shane Wate for a 40 yard completion.

Meussner capped off the drive with a touchdown pass to Brian Mayer, making the score 13-0.  The QB finished 11 for 16 passing, (69 percent) with three touchdowns and has yet to throw an interception this season.

The Mega Human defense continued to cause problems for the opposition, and Brian Mayer made some spectacular plays in pass coverage.

TMH defensive ends Mike Mayer and Robbie Stotler turned in another great performance, never letting the Sesinado’s Gent’s Cut’s QB get comfortable in the pocket.

“We put pressure on their quarterback all day.  When we weren’t getting sacks, we were forcing him to rush his throws and he made some bad decisions,” Mike Mayer said after the game.

Next week the Mega Humans will face Flamethrower in the final game of the regular season.  Flamethrower’s record stands at 2-1 with their only loss coming from the BTP Scuts.  TMH must win this game to ensure an outright league title, or there potentially could be a three-way tie for first place.

Next week’s game will be played on Wednesday, Oct. 29 at 5:30 p.m. on IMA field three.

Game Ball: 

This week’s game ball goes to Brian Mayer who has played great at defensive back all season and hauling in a clutch TD pass this week.  His twin brother Mike also plays on the team.

Team Mega Human overcomes injuries to defeat the BTP Scuts

In one of the most anticipated games of the early IMA football season, Team Mega Human defeated BTP Scuts 24-13 on Wednesday in thrilling fashion. TMH (2-0) was tested early on by the Scuts (1-1), but proved to have too much experience and talent in the end.

        After going up 6-0 on the BTP Scuts on the first drive of the game, the Mega Humans lost key player Shane Wate, who went out with a hand injury.  But versatile team captain Adam Garrison stepped in, making some big plays when his team needed him most.

        The Scuts made the game interesting, leading 13-12 at the half, after scoring two touchdowns and converting an extra point.

 The Mega Human offense struggled at times, with quarterback Rob Meussner finishing 6 for 13 (46 percent) passing with two touchdowns. The QB had trouble finding receivers, especially in the second half.

        But Meussner made plays when it counted, leading the Mega Humans down the field late in the second half.  After completing a 35 yard pass to Kirk Hilken, Muessner ran the ball in for the go ahead score, giving TMH a 18-13 advantage.

        “I saw a breakdown in the defense and I took advantage.  But the credit really goes to my offensive line.  Without them, I just have great hair,” Meussner said after the game. 

        The Scuts had a chance to take the lead, but Scut QB Jake Snoreski threw a pick, which was intercepted by Hilken.  Hilken took the pick to the house, and sealed the victory for the Mega Humans.

        “Kirk played great tonight,” fan favorite Adam Garrison told the media after the game.

        The Mega Humans now look to be in control of their own destiny in terms of a league championship, with two regular season games remaining before the playoffs.

        Next week TMH will face Sesinado’s Gent’s Cut on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 5:30 p.m. on IMA field two.

 

Game Ball:

The game ball this week has to go out to Kirk Hilken, who not only made a key catch late in the game, but put the game out of reach with his now legendary “Pick-6”.

 

Quote of the Game:

“Hey Jake, stay on your feet, dumb ass.”  Shane Wate taunting Scut quarterback Jake Snoreski, after he fell down behind the line of scrimmage.

 

Injuries:

-Shane Wate, MLB:  Injured right hand, expects to play this week.

-Alex Whitney, CB:  Sore left hamstring, is questionable.

-Brian Mayer, CB:  Bloody nose, plugged it up with Kleenex, is expected to play next week.

-Tony Blackburn, K:  Agoraphobia, has been instructed to avoid marketplaces and open spaces in general, his status remains day to day.

Team Mega Human dominates in season opener

Team Mega Human (TMH) kicked the season off Wednesday against Shamgar, and left little doubt who was the better team.  Dominating in all facets of play, TMH (1-0) defeated an overmatched Shamgar (0-1) by the score of 28-0, and asserted themselves as a legitimate contender for the Men’s Rainer Division #9 league championship.

        TMH quarterback Rob Meussner went 16 for 22 passing (72%), with four touchdown passes, picking apart the Shamgar defense.  But his passing percentage does not tell the whole story, as wide receiver Alex Whitney made three acrobatic catches, two of which resulted in touchdowns.

        Whitney also contributed to TMH’s stifling defense, which completely shut down Shamgar’s offense.  Whitney had two of the three interceptions by the Mega Humans, making it a tough day for Shamgar’s quarterback. 

        “We came to play today,” said Whitney after the game.  “There were a lot of questions about this team’s commitment coming in, and I think we silenced some critics today.”

        The critics may have been silenced this week, but next week’s game may prove to be a real test for TMH.  The Mega Humans will face BTP Scuts (1-0), who soundly defeated Dixon ThyHasus (0-1) 26-6.  That game will be played on Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m. on IMA field one. 

 

Game Ball:

This week’s game ball goes to Whitney, who had a monster day on both sides of the ball.

 

Quote of the Game:

“We just need to air the ball out and someone needs to run under it.”  Team inspirational leader Adam Garrison offered this bit of sound advice to his teammates during the game

 

Injury Report:

Robbie Stotler, DE: Pulled right hamstring, is day to day but expects to play Wednesday.

Tony Blackburn, K:  Diagnosed with severe chronic spinal meningitis, expected to miss 1-2 weeks.
