In football action Sept. 8, last year's base champion, Hospital, came out in championship form as they throttled the Cops 19-0. 

Both teams' defensive starts were superb in the opening minutes as the Medics went four and out followed by the Cops doing the same. Darell Holden, Medics quarterback, threw an interception on their next set of downs. However, the Cops couldn't capitalize and had to kick. 

Dwight Preston, Medics punt returner, returned the Cops punt to the 39 yard line. The next play Holden hooked up with Erik Gulick, Medic receiver, for a touchdown. Holden ran in the extra point, making it 7-0. 

As the clock headed to halftime, Gulick intercepted a pass from Dan Garber, Cops quarterback. Holden marched his troops down to the 6 yard line when time ran out. 

In the second half ,Garber hit George Callaway with two passes that put the cops down to the 34 yard line. The Medics' defense stiffened and the ball was turned over on downs.

The Medics continued in the second half the way they ended the first, moving the ball to the Cops' 25 yard line. Holden connected with Keith Brownlee, Medics receiver, with a 15-yard pass to the 10, and then it was Holden to Gulick on a 10 yard strike to the right corner of the end zone for six. The extra point was no good and the medics were up 13-0.

The final score came off a Garber interception that was returned to the 16 yard line. The final score came as Holden, once again, found Gulick in the right corner for a 2-yard touchdown, making the final score 19-0.
