Idiots Knock Off the Cougars Again... Divisional Finals are Next!(see full schedule and results by clicking here) The Village Idiots arrived to Sunday morning's game as a 5 point favorite over a Cougars team that they shutout earlier this year. Well, it would not be a shutout this time as the Cougars scored on their first drive when a well thrown deep flag pattern made it past the VI secondary. Both defenses stood strong for the rest of the half, and the Idiots were down 6-0 at the break. After a nice return on the opening kickoff of the 2nd half, the Idiots looked like they were going to have no trouble getting back into this one when Danny Morgan knocked two defenders out of the way as he led Brian Stanley up the sideline for a quick 20 yd gain which made it 1st and goal. The Cougars defense tightened up however, and after a 3rd down sack, the V.I. faced 4th and goal from the 25 yard-line. With just enough protection to get off the pass, BStan lofted a high-arching toss to Dan Knipscher that just made it over the cornerback and dropped into DKnip's arms as he fell into the end-zone. The Gary Tizio extra point made it 7-6 Idiots. After both teams exchanged punts, the Idiots defense bent again, but held the Cougars out of the end-zone and forced a field-goal attempt, which was good, setting the V.I. behind 9-7 with about 5 minutes remaining. Another good kick return setup a quick dart to Tom Weber, and a sweep by BStan which put the Idiots in the red-zone. After a pair of missed chances, on 3rd and goal, Stanley rolled right, drew the defense and tossed the ball across the field to a wide open Knipscher, for his second score of the day. The 2-pt attempt was no good and the Idiots kicked off with a 13-9 lead. The Defense would need to stop the Cougars once more with the clock winding down. Starting on their own 20, a quick slant and some yards after catch had the Cougars across mid-field, but the always reliable Idiots' D made the plays when it counted and Randy Cardona knocked the last pass attempt of the Cougars' season to the ground with 1:38 to play. Only needing one first down to make it official, the O-line held strong as BStan scrambled the precious seconds off of the clock and then broke free and eventually crossed the goal-line behind a Knipscher block to lock in the final tally at 19-9 for the Village Idiots! The Village Idiots look to avenge their lone loss of the season as they will take on the Hustlers next Sunday in the Finals... 10:30 at Walker Palk in Hicksville...The V.I. were joined this season by Green Bay Home Improvement!
