I do not even know where to begin. There has never been, in Torah Youth's 4yr history a game like today's game. Tov Pizza, with their "owner" Ronnie Rosenbluth in their corner, took on Allied Funding, with Yitzi Shnidman in their corner. Throughout the season we saw about 10 - 12 overtime games, but none like this one. This was the first time that the overtime was longer than a half!
Tov Pizza took an early 2-0 lead after Chaim Finkelstein threw two easy touchdowns. Allied's defense brought them back in the game to make it 2-2. At that point, it was a back and forth battle until the very end.
Many people were on hand to watch and we would like to express our thank you to those who came to support these kids. Namely:
R' Melman
R' Fuchs
R' Flam
R' Rifkind
R' Berkowitz
R' Lefkowitz
Dave Finkelstein
Meir Kohen
Jack Jacobs
Yaakov Szajowitz
George Strum
Tali Strum
We would also like to thank our referees Yussi Openden, JT Gutman, and Aron Hertz.
A very special thank you to our camera crew and news team Avi Yudkowsky, Yosef Nachomowitz, and Mordi Spero. A special shout out to our photographers, Kramer & Drabkin (K&D Photography?).
For those of you waiting for pictures, have no fear, many were taken. It will take us time to post them but when they are up we are sure to let you know.
TYFFL 2007-2008 in the books.
Have a great Shabbos!

2nd Round TYFFL Playoffs
When it rains it pours.
On a day which was cloudy, nobody really knew when the rain would fall. As the games began it was drizzling. As the games entered their final minutes, the rain started to fall harder.
This week presented another incredible week of playoff football. In a very heated battle, National Photo and Tov traded scores for much of the game. With thirty seconds left Tov took the lead and did not look back.
In another very hard fought battle, with the favorite - Parisers - without their starting QB Yisroel Tzvi Gutman, brought in Avi Yudkowsky to be their substitute QB against Allied Funding.
This game went into a very wet overtime. The ground was wet, the ball was slippery, and there were plenty of wet fans on the sidelines. After a grueling back and forth, Allied was able to overcome the odds and join Tov Pizza in the TYFFL Bowl.
Next week - Tov Pizza vs Allied Funding - TYFFL Bowl III
