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.
