On Saturday, the great men of the Sasquatch Militia defended Cascadia's honor by capturing the Gentleman's Saturdays Flag Football Championship in a rout, 39-13 over the impossibly matched Throwbackers. QB Scott Baker completed 5 TD passes and ran for one, while Zach Gray was on the receiving end of 3 of those, adding an interception on D as well.
The team made quick work of their semi final match up earlier in the day, housing The Buschmen 33-20, and never letting them in the game. Matt Yoder, Keith Van Essen and Ben Katt each had many key receptions throughout the afternoon, while Tim Ramseyer, Seth Doyle, and Chris Holder were stifling on defense. Jim Curtain, coming back from a broken wrist earlier in the season rounded out the Militia attack.
"Doesn't it feel good, boys?" laughed Gray, a 6 season veteran and the team's senior player. His mood suddenly changing, tears welling up in his eyes, he exclaimed, "I have been waiting for this for so long. You don't know what this means to me; nearing the end of my career. I only wish..." He then fell sobbing into team minister/star flag grabber Katt's arms, unable to finish his sentence.
Katt himself was a monster, preventing any opponent receivers from escaping his patented 'Hand of God" defense Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile on offense, Baker was making quick and easy work of his unworthy opponents. "I can't remember the last time I accounted for 11 touchdowns in consecutive games. Is that a record,"Baker asked? Baker, who's family had made the trip from Bainbridge on a ferry, played inspired, scoring on nearly every drive started. Signing autographs after the game, he winked to his parents and girlfriend, signed the game ball, and chucked it to the adoring crowd.
Next season begins in January, but the team isn't worrying about that just yet. "We have some celebrating to do," Holder told the assembled press after the game. For all our fans who want to come out, we'll be at Floyd's, Saturday. I guarantee bedlam."
The bedlam, perhaps fitting, is something of a tradition for the Militia. It is doubtful that the memories from this fantastic season will fade any faster than their trophy T-shirts, worn proudly as they exited the stadium. "The only thing missing was the championship champagne shower," Yoder mentioned nearing the end of the celebration on the field. "I guess we'll have to do it on Thanksgiving."
Bedlam indeed. As the sun sets in Cascadia this autumn, know that its shores are defended by an elite few; proudly stomping out victims every Saturday, in the dark and rain. They are the Sasquatch Militia, Champions of Seattle. You should be proud.
