Steve Colbert’s TD midway through the third tied the game at 21 all. A 60 yard kick return by Ezekiel gave the Mennonite excellent field position, and Mudder Smuckers 7 yard TD catch put the Amish back up on top, 28-21 going into the final quarter. After an exchange of kicks, Colbert caught a Dubya pass and raced 53 yards to once again tie the game at 28. Lamp took advantage of special teams breakdowns by the Waste and returned the kick 59 yards to the Waste 31. Speedy’s 19 yard TD run finished the scoring for the day and gave the Mennonites the victory.
