Hoof Hearted’s sweet revenge

Beta A1 loses in close game

Beta A1 and Hoof Hearted matched up Sunday for both teams’ first game of the flag football season.

Beta A1 had a rough start in the first half with Hoof Hearted scoring early led by Nathan Hickey, Lawrence sophomore quarterback. Hickey led the team in touchdowns throughout the game.

In the second half, Beta A1 and Hoof Hearted were tied 6-6. Beta A1 picked it up with a breakaway touchdown by Tommy Grutzmacher, Platte City, Mo. sophomore.

Holding was called on Hoof Hearted but led to the team scoring again.

With one second left in the game and game tied 13-13, Beta A1 called a time-out. The offensive Hoof Hearted scored one extra point, bringing the final score to 14-13.

Derek Nye, Lawrence senior and Hoof Hearted team captain, was enthusiastic.

“It’s good to beat the best frat on campus, especially a team that has a lot of resources.” Nye said.

Kitley Jewell, Lawrence senior said Hoof Hearted lost to a Beta Theta Pi team in a similar game last year so the Hoof Hearted victory was sweet revenge.

“We played pretty well but they’re a good team and great guys.” Greg Brunin, St. Mary’s senior said.

The competitors of Hoof Hearted have been playing together for four years. Last year the team advanced to the non-competitive league finals. This is their first year in the competitive intramural league.
