Kicker Trey Barrow celebrates his game winning Field Goal

On Wednesday night, the Omaha Mammoths defeated the Boston Brawlers 10-8. In a game that was heavy on defense, penalties, and turnovers, the majority of the scoring and excitement was all in the closing minutes. 

The Mammoths led Boston after the first half 7-0 after a Touchdown by LaDarius Perkins, and an extra point by Omaha Kicker Trey Barrow.

Barrow would also miss a 35-yard Field Goal attempt in the first half, but would have a chance at redemption later in the game. 

With Omaha looking to lock up the game with a Touchdown run by Dominique Whaley, Boston’s Phillip Steward stripped him at the goal line in what was Omaha’s fifth turnover, and gave Boston life with 1:55 left in the game, on their own 10-yard line. 

Boston QB Carson Coffman would lead Boston on an 8 play, 90 yard drive to score, as Coffman found Jasper Collins for the Touchdown. Boston would then successfully attempt a 2-point conversion, to take the lead 8-7 with just 28 seconds left in the game. 

However, penalties would plague Boston once again, as the kickoff traveled out of bounds, and set up the Mammoths at the 50 yard line, with a chance to get within Field Goal range, and win the game. 

Omaha would get into range, and give their kicker Trey Barrow a chance to redeem himself, and win the game, with a 46-yard Field Goal. 

And, as time expired Trey Barrow’s 46-yard Field Goal was good, and Omaha won it, in the final seconds 10-8. Barrow’s Field Goal was given Nivea Men Play of the Game honors, and the Mammoths celebrated their victory in front of their home crowd, who had stayed till the end. 

The Boston Brawlers end the season 1-4, but end on somewhat of a high note, as they stuck it out, and almost pulled off a shocking victory over Omaha in the final seconds of the game. 

The Mammoths, with the win, improve to 3-1, and remain undefeated at home. Next Friday, the Mammoths will play their final game of the regular season, welcoming the undefeated Brooklyn Bolts to Omaha, in what will be a matchup of the FXFL’s two best teams this season.
