New
York earns their respect once again in our 2004 Desert Classic held in Las
Vegas, NV on September 17th – 19th, 2004.
Teams
from the east coast came to the west to showcase their flag football skills.
The teams involved in the tournament were the Virginia’s Badd Girls, Florida’s
Flag Sport Queen Beez, New York’s TNT, Virginia’s Playmakers and Atlanta’s
Lyte-N-Tyte.
All of the teams let it ride in Vegas!! |

Though a bit windy, the
weather was gorgeous every day with a view of the Vegas mountains surrounding us
in the background. Round Robin Play began on Friday evening and continued
through Saturday morning. What a tournament! Almost every game was
decided by no more than a
touchdown.
New York’s
TNT(2nd seed) and Florida’s Flag Sport Queen Beez (1st
seed) proved themselves to be the top competition throughout the tournament.
Though Flag Sport Queen Beez took the first win away from
TNT in Round Robin play, TNT brought it to the table when it counted.
Both teams came to play, but TNT took control toward the end and beat Flag
Sport Queen Beez 12-6 taking home the 1st place Cash Prize
of $500.00.
Florida’s Flag Sport Queen Beez came up short
in the end but took home the 2nd place Cash Prize of $250.00.
Florida was lead by their quaterback, Anita Marks, throughout the
tournament. Anita marched her troops into battle over the weekend, her
defensive squad was the one to watch. They were unstoppable
pulling flags left and right. Kudos goes out to the Flag Sport Queen Beez and
their efforts in putting it all on the table. Atlanta’s Lyte-N-Tyte received a
$150.00 Cash Prize for finishing in 3rd place. |

Nathalie Jufer - #20, TNT, made it easy
for the officials to pick out the MVP selection. She is a player with heart in everything she does on the field.
Whether Natalie is running a route, catching a pass, running out of an “I”
formation, or just cheering her teammates on the sidelines, she leaves nothing
on the field and plays with everything she has.
She is a true athlete and plays with all
heart, she deserved the MVP award for the 2004 Desert Classic.
Congratulations Nathalie and TNT for a successful tournament!
Thanks to all the
participants, and please help us in our efforts to promote WAFFF all
across the country. We can't do this without you! |
