ALL TEAMS THAT PARTICIPATE IN INTERNATIONAL WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS-
AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT!
ALL TEAMS FROM THE MEXICAN CHALLENGE QUALIFY FOR THIS YEARS WORLD
CUP INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT
August 3rd, 2204
Monterrey,Mexico-Mexican Challenge
Known for its Chair Mountain, Cerro de la silla,
Monterrey played
host to the 5th Annual Mexican Challenge flag football
tournament. The Event was the IFFF’s third international event this
year, England, and Canada were the other two countries hosting
events. Eighteen teams from four different states of Mexico, Cancun-Q.Roo,
Cohuilla, Edo. de Mexico and Nuevo León,
and three
USA teams took part in the event. Several teams traveled great
distances to qualify for these years World Cup Extravaganza, The
Dream Team of Colorado Springs; CO traveled the furthest, 17 hours
one way in a car. Captain, Claude Lockhart States-“We wanted to
qualify early; we know the world cup invitational tournament will be
sold out because it’s in the
USA,
so we didn’t want to be left out. We know that if we wait till the
end we may not make it and I don’t want to miss this years event,
last year was a blast” The women from Cancun took a 3 hour flight
to get to Monterrey.
It was the first time Monterrey hosted an international flag
football tournament, organized by the Alberto Vasquez; the games
were played at
Monterrey
Technological
College, where the fields are considered the best football fields in
Mexico. International Flag Football Federation President, Jim
Zimolka stated-“In the six years ive been coming to Mexico It was
the best Mexican Event we have ever had. It was well run, properly
organized, referees were good, and the fields were excellent.
Everyone walked away from this event with a good taste”.
The Monterrey Technological was huge and the football fields were
immaculate for the tournament. Friday night kicked off with a
captains meeting were teams picked there spot in the bracket, then
on Saturday everyone played round robin, two games for seeding into
Sundays single elimination rounds. The playoffs were exciting, as
the men’s final went to three overtimes. It was and all McAllen, TX
final arch rivals Colors vs. Scatbacks, Colors struck first scoring
on its first possession, a 20 yard touch grab from QB Tuffy Martinez
to WR Rick Salinas gave them the early led 6-0.The Scatbacks
answered right back when QB Doni Taltantz connected on a 30 yard
pass to Gus Gardza to tie it at 6-6. Colors then scored again on a
30 yard scamper by Beto Alvarado to go ahead 13-6. Scatbacks ended
the first half scoring when QB Danni Talamantez jaunted 15 yards to
pay dirt for the half’s final scored which tied the game at 13.
The second half was a defensive battle as each team only scored
once. Colors scored on a 40 yard bomb to Ruben Ramirez while the
scatbacks scored on a 20 yard Td reception from Fili Taltantz to tie
the score at 20 a piece and bring the game to overtime. In overtime,
extra points, one or two determine the game. Both teams opted for
one point conversions in the first two overtimes and got them. IN
the third overtime, Scatbacks receiver Tani Talmantez caught the
ball then landed on shoulder causing the ball to pop out and
breaking his collar bone. Colors capitalized on the mishap when Rick
Salinas caught a slant pass for the game winner. It was the second
time the scatbacks finished in second at a world cup qualifier.
They lost to Blincos in Raleigh, NC in June.
The Ex Borrego’s were Mexico’s strongest team in the tournament.
They were all former college tackle football players. The team only
played with seven players in the 98F heat. In the playoffs the edged
the Aguilas of Monterrey 21-20 and then they beat the Dream Team of
Colorado 18-15 before they were knocked off by the Scatbacks. The
Aguilas of Saltillo also represented Mexico well as they are the
younger generation of talent. In the playoffs the knocked off the
Extroyanos 21-8 and then the Titanes of Mexico City 33-8 before they
were eliminated by Colors.
In the Women’s Championship it was an all
Mexico City final as power house Aquilas Blancas won easily 14-0 over
Mexico Blue. Maritza Zamora scored both td’s.The Aguilas did loose
on Saturday, a forfeit for showing up late. The IFFF has no
tolerance for tardiness, even if you’re a four time World Cup
champion stated IFFF president Jim Zimolka, who was there overseeing
the event. In round robin matchup’s there was a classic as hometown
arch rivals Tigres took on the Leonas.When these two teams met on
the field for tackle over 30,0000 people attend the game. It was a
defensive battle as the games on score came on a 20 yard td catch by
a tigres receiver.
Tournament director Alberto Vazquez is to be commended for a
well organized event. At 38 years old he has been diagnosed with Lou
Gehrig’s disease (Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis) ALS, degenerative nerve disorder. ALS affects the
nerve fibers in the spinal cord which control voluntary
movement.Alberto has been involved with Flag/Touch football for over
10 years and has created the local league in Monterrey after he
moved there from Mexico City.at 6’3” Alberto played TE in college
for the Vikings in tackle football. In two short years, Alberto has
20 teams playing in his local league.
