The extra point attempt was incomplete, which became a trend for Legacy as the game went on. Van Gelder completed his first three passes to Woodward, one of which resulted in the game’s first touchdown. Legacy’s quarterback, Joe Van Gelder, and wide receiver, Alex Woodward, showed early signs of amazing chemistry. Legacy started the game with the ball because Pick Six deferred until the second half. The expectations for both couldn’t be higher, but only one team could walk away with the perfect, undefeated season and the bragging rights of being champions. Unlike Pick Six, Legacy had been battle tested throughout the playoffs, winning their four playoff games by an average of only 13 points (one by only one point and another by only three points). Legacy was a team comprised of veteran players, mostly seniors, grad students, and faculty members. Even with the known history of Pick Six, Legacy felt far from an underdog.

Pick Six cruised into the championship game, beating their opponents by an average of 37 points throughout the playoffs. They had proven to be a flag football powerhouse after winning the intramural championship during the fall semester. Pick Six was the favorite coming into the game. The Run N Gun Flag Football Men’s championship was a battle of the unbeatens, as Legacy (8-0) took on Pick Six (8-0).
