Flag football: Playing without their starting quarterback Roy Selway, the Coldwell Banker flag football team stayed undefeated in Hernando County League play with a 21-19 overtime win against Spartans on Sept. 14. John Brockman, typically a receiver, filled in at quarterback for Coldwell and continually ran reverses with running back Tim Selway. Newcomer Chris Silverman, who also recorded two sacks and batted down two balls, notched the game-winning point after catching a pass from Selway for the two-point conversion.
