Third Reich 28 - Killer Bees 21

The Munich Third Reich finally got the affe (German for monkey) off their backs with a hard earned victory as they limited the Killer Bees to just 107 yards rushing. Wilhelm Klink, making the most of what was available to him with a short passing game, completed 11-19-0 for 2 TD’s and 120 yards.

The Reich scored on their first possession on a 58 yard Franz Schultz field goal for the only points in the first quarter. The Reich then backed the Bees up to their 11, where they recovered a blocked punt for a TD and a 10 - 0 lead. Hank Hornet got the Bees on the board when recovered a Fritz Mueller fumble and ran it in 8 yards to make the score 10 - 7. Schultz kicked a 44 yarded at the end of the second quarter to make it 13 - 7 Munich at the half.

Jason Stinger caught a 16 yard Kerry Kingbee pass to put Kalamazoo up 14 - 13. Kingbee connected with Stinger again at the end of the 3rd for a 21 - 13 lead. The final quarter belonged to the Third Reich, as they ran all but one play. First, Peter Becker scored from 13 yards out on a Klink pass. With the 2 point conversion, it tied the game at 21 - 21 The Reich then kicked and recovered an onsides kick, which brought out jeers of protests from the Killer Bees fans, as there was still plenty of time remaining in the game. Munich then used a dominating time control offense and ran off 12 straight plays which ended with Klink throwing his 2nd TD to Becker and an 28 - 21 lead. On their fist play, Dieter Schmidt intercepted Kingbee’s pass and the Reich ran out the clock from there.

Kingbee was 5-10-1 for 147 yards and 2 TD’s. Richard Meier had 48 yards rushing to lead the Reich. Defensively, Norman Nest led the Bees with 5 tackles while Schmidt had 3 tackles and an interception for Munich.
