Vote for the 2012 Mastodon Play of the Year

One play can turn a game, nay, a season around. They can electrify the crowd, stun the world and give a huge rush of adrenaline throughout your body. Some of the greatest plays in the history of sports have occurred in the game of football. The Immaculate Reception, Doug Flutie's Hail Mary, the list can go on forever. Some of the greatest plays in the history of sports have also occurred in Mastodon games. Here are the nominees for the 2012 Mastodon Play of the Year.


Dave's Whirlwind Scramble. Trailing by 17 just before halftime, Dave knew that a big play was needed to swing the momentum in the game around. It was fourth down and he persuaded his team to go for it with him standing in the shotgun on a wildcat play. He pump faked to Joe and then scrambled to his left. He rushed for about ten yards before he slipped and fell. Untouched, he hopped to his feet, and juked defenders out before taking it down the right sideline for a 54 yard touchdown.

Joe's Power Run. Pinned at their own one yard line, Joe suggested that the team execute a short, inside run. What happened next was incredible. Joe found a hole and rushed down the right sideline. A defender came at him, but Joe dropped a shoulder and sent him back to the ground. Another defender was shot out of bounds. By now, Joe was at midfield and he then stiff-armed a defender right in his neck. Continuing this all the way, Joe soon found himself in the end zone on a 99 yard touchdown.

Kyle's Touchdown Spectacle. In the early beginnings of the Mastodon season, Kyle Petit was already showing how great of a receiver he could really be. He lined up on the left and bolted deep down the field. The ball was snapped and Alex scrambled to the outside. He heaved it down the field to Kyle. It seemed too long though, as it carried to the back of the end zone. However, Kyle sped down and dove and tipped the ball with one hand into his chest. Kyle had himself a 70 yard amazing touchdown reception.

Nick's Final Touchdown. Nick was already having himself a career game in his last game as a Mastodon with eight touchdown receptions. He decided to go for one more. On the opposing eleven yard line, Alex was immediately in trouble, following the snap. He threw it up to Nick with confidence that the receiver would find a way to come down with it. With three defenders covering him closely, Nick jumped up and overpowered the defenders and caught the ball in the end zone for an amazing swan song catch.
