By marbellasharks | March 30, 2010
Just like King Leonidas led a small, fierce group of Spartans into the Battle of Thermopylae, Marbella Sharks Quarterback (QB), Zac Colvin (#81) led 14 brave, fearless Sharks into the Battle of Coslada on March 28th against the Camioneros, who were seeking to revenge their earlier 34-0 loss to the Sharks during the first half of the season. Despite being outmanned and playing on a foreign field, the Sharks showed strength and honor by never giving up and playing hard for all 4 quarters. After falling behind 19-8 at halftime, the Sharks pulled together as a team and made a late surge in the 4th quarter to close the lead to 26-20. The Sharks made a valiant attempt at an onside kick with less than a minute left in the game, but came up short. The final score was Marbella Sharks 20 – Coslada Camioneros 26. The Sharks scoring drives were as follows:
1st Quarter: Sharks Wide Receiver (WR) A.J. Scola (#13) scored the Sharks’ first touchdown of the game. Sharks Running Back (RB) Matt Thomas (#6) successfully ran the ball into the end zone for the two point conversion.
4th Quarter: With 6:30 left in the 4th quarter, Sharks QB Zac Colvin (#81) scampered around the left end for a 10 yard touchdown run. The Sharks scored their second touchdown of the quarter via a long pass from QB Zac Colvin (#81) to RB Matt Thomas (#6).
The Sharks are now preparing for their final battle against the undefeated Barcelona Bufals (6-0). This will be the Sharks final game in the 2010 season of the Liga Nacional de Futbol Americano (LNFA), which is the top American football league in Spain. Beating the Bufals will give the Sharks a second place finish in the their debut performance in the Conferencia Nacional. This clash of the titans will take place at the Santa Maria (Las Chapas) field, otherwise known as the “Shark Tank”, at 18:00 on Saturday, April 17th. All Shark Fans should show-up to the game earlier to cheer on the Mighty Sharks to Victory!!
