Colts remain undefeated in AMICC NFL 10-12 division action
Mr. Bone’s BBQ Colts showed why it’s the team to beat in the 10-12 division with a convincing 44-29 victory Feb. 18 over the Sand Dollar Steelers, which fielded only five players.
Substitues may not have figured in this game, as Mr. Bones’ Rory Houston ran wild. Houston had runs of 34, 43 and 45 yards, and it appears nobody on the Steelers team, or in the league for that matter, can run with him. He also threw for 145 yards and finished with 101 rushing yards on only four carries in the victory.
The other side of the 10-12 division also had a first-versus-second place matchup as the LPAC Cardinals took on Ross Built Broncos. The second-place Broncos took it to the Cardinals 44-20 to move into a tie for first place, and only a couple of games remain to play before the playoffs.
The 8-9 division is a wide open affair as evidenced by Gettel Toyota Texans and Pink & Navy Boutique Cowboys — the two teams in a tie for last place — beating the first and second place Beach Bistro Vikings and Waterfront Restaurant Raiders last week.
The 13-16 division is a two-horse race between Integrity Sound Redskins and Jessie’s Island Store Steelers, but the Redskins one-upped the Steelers with a close 25-22 victory Feb. 18 to almost lock down the top seed for the playoffs.
Jospeh Andruzzi led the Redskins with eight catches for 92 yards and three touchdown receptions. Quarterback Joey Carder completed seven of eight passes for 88 yards and three touchdown passes. Joey Carder also caught one touchdown pass thrown by brother Justin Carder, who completed eight of 12 passes for 94 yards. Andrew Zink added five receptions for 31 yards and an extra point in the victory. Joey Carder paced the defense with four flag pulls, including two quarterback sacks, while Ryan Gilman added three pulls and Andruzzi picked off one pass.
Michael Duffman had a strong all-around game, finishing with 52 rushing yards and 135 passing yards, while also scoring a touchdown, a two-point conversion and throwing two touchdown passes. Nehemiah Goode added three receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown while Cody Tsai finished with 66 all-purpose yards and a touchdown. Michael Duffman and Knox Wheelis paced the defense with three flag pulls while Brad Duffman and Evan Thompson each added two pulls in the loss.
Key Royale golf news
With the women’s and men’s club championships ongoing, as well as the couple’s championship, there’s a lot of golf action coming out of Key Royale Club.
However, nothing grabs the attention of golfers more than a hole in one. Ken Rickett did just that Feb. 17 with an ace on the 123-yard, eighth hole with a nine iron.
Congratulations on the accomplishment.

The KRC women took the course Feb. 14 for a nine-hole, low-net-in-flight match. Judy Crowe fired a 5-under-par 27 to grab a one-shot victory in Flight A over Helen Pollack and Laura Purcell.
Beverly Neville and Ginny Nunn both carded 4-under-par 28 to tie for first place in Flight B. Liz Lange, Jan Turner, Margrit Layh and Beth Lindeman finished in a four-way tie for second place at 29.
Maryanne Kaemmerlen and Judy Ward fired matching 3-under-par 29s to finish in a tie for first place in Flight C. Barb Estok was one shot back in second place.
Vicki Anderson carded a 4-under-par 28 to grab a one-shot victory in Flight D over Shirley Cessna. Marty Clark was alone in third place with a 2-under-par 30.
The team low-net game of the day was won by the foursome of Judy Crowe, Jean Holmes, Margrit Layh and Laura Purcell with a 114 total.
Rich Papini’s plus-8 gave him first place in the Feb. 14 modified-Stableford match and helped his team of Gary Alvord, John Purcell and Jack Isherwood to an almost-perfect plus-11 total and a first-place finish.
The men played a two-better-balls-of-foursome match Feb. 13. The team of Chet Hutton, Tom Warda and Jerry Landkammer took first place with a 50. Second place went to the team of Charlie Knopp and Bill Martin at 52.
The men played an 18-hole, individual-low-net match Feb. 11. Gino DiClemente carded a 3-under-par 61 to take first place by two shots over Earl Richie. Bob Elliott was alone in third at even-par 64.
