Bees Lose Killer Instinct, Game


In what seems to be the story of Kalamazoo’s season, the Killer Bees once again let victory slip through their hands as Three Mile Island came from behind to register only their second win of the year, 24-20. Steve Colbert did most of the damage, rushing for 2 touchdowns and 61 yards on 8 carries for the Waste.

Peter Pollen opened the game with a bang, scoring on a 80 yard run on the first play from scrimmage for the Bees. The Toxic Waste answered with a 9 play, 68 yard drive that ended with Colbert scoring from 6 yards out. Steve Swarm put the Bees back in front on a 43 yard blast just before the end of the 1st quarter. Both teams traded field goals to make it 17-10 Kalamazoo at the half.

Three Mile Island opened the second half with a beautiful 80 yard, 11 play march that ended with Colbert’s second TD of the day to tie it up at 17 all. The teams traded interceptions and punts until Paul Inated’s field goal put the Bees up 20-17 with just a few minutes left in the game. Colbert returned the kick 58 yards to the Killer Bee 31. With only seconds left in the game, George Dubya fired a pass to Jim Baker in the end zone for the winning score. Mudd Dauber finished with 5 ½ tackles and a sack for the Bees. ‘Tricky’ Dick Nixon had 2 interceptions and 2 ½ tackles for the Waste.
