Tomoe: We're back, and it's the second quarter, where the Lionhearts are in scoring position, thanks to a brilliant defensive move by Seifer Almasy and Fujin.
Dorothy: You would have to think that the Lionhearts would go with Ward on this drive, since there is so very little ground to go.
1st and 10. Squall hikes the ball and hands it off to Ward.
Tomoe: They did indeed go with Ward on that play, and he's plowing up the middle. He stopped by a combined effort by Setsuna and Rei. That was a gain of about 7.
Dorothy: It seems it would be rather difficult to stop the Lionhearts with Ward getting yards so easily.
2nd and 3. Squall hikes the ball and hands it off to Ward again.
Tomoe: It's Ward again. This time he's stopped after a gain of 5.
Dorothy: The Lionhearts are ready to tie this one up.
1st and goal. Squall hikes the ball and hands it off to Ward.
Tomoe: It's with Ward again. And he plows into the end zone with no trouble at all!
Dorothy: That was some very smart playing by the Lionhearts.
Tomoe: The extra point is up…and it's good! That ties the game 7-7.
Dorothy: Coach Loire seems to be a bit more relaxed now.
Zell kicks the ball off.
Tomoe: Once again, Haruka Tenou gets the kickoff. She's up to the twenty…the 30, uh, oh, it looks like she could go all…the…way! Touchdown!
Dorothy: That was a very bad move on the Lionhearts. They shouldn't have let Haruka get the kickoff. Plus that was terribly sloppy playing.
Tomoe: It looks like the Scouts are going for two.
Usagi hikes the ball and drops back into the pocket.
Tomoe: She's looking for an open receiver…Looking…she's gotta hurry…
Suddenly Usagi is double tackled by Seifer and Fujin.
Dorothy: Oh, my! That's one of those hits that you just don't want to take!
Tomoe: And she's not getting up either.
Usagi is seen bawling her eyes out. Ami runs out and examines her.
Tomoe: It seems that she has a concussion!
Dorothy: That's a major blow to the Sailor Scouts, because this is the first game, and there's a lot more football that has to played!
Tomoe: That also means that Hotaru Tomoe has to come in. Ah, my little Hotaru…
Dorothy: But that will have to wait until the next possession. So the score is now 13-7, with the Scouts leading!
Tomoe: And the Scouts are ready to kick off!
Lita kicks the ball and Seifer catches it.
Tomoe: Almasy's up to the 15, the 20…And he's tackled at the 25.
Dorothy: Not quite the best starting position, but right now, I believe that the Lionhearts should take what they get.
Tomoe: No doubt about that.
1st and 10 on the 25.
Squall hikes the ball and drops back in the pocket.
Tomoe: They're not going with Ward on this one…
Dorothy: Not this time. Leonhart's backing up, and he's looking…
Squall throws the ball to Quistis, who catches it at the 50, is tackled by Mamuro at the 45.
Tomoe: A most excellent play Leonhart and Trepe. That's a gain of 30 and another first down.
1st and 10 at the 45.
Squall hikes the ball and hands it off to Ward.
Tomoe: Zabac's plows through for a gain of about five.
Dorothy: He may be slow, but if he keeps this up, he'll be in the end zone for sure.
2nd and 5 at the 30.
Squall hikes the ball and hands it off to Ward.
Tomoe: Zabac's got running room…He's at the 20, the 15, it seems he's going to make it all the way!
Ward dives into the end zone, just ahead of Mina.
Dorothy: It is a touchdown indeed! And it would appear that the Lionhearts are going to play it safe and go for the extra point.
Tomoe: It's up, and…It's good! The Lionhearts have their first lead of the game 14-13!
Dorothy: This could be bad for the Sailor Scouts. With Usagi out, the QB position could be a little more susceptible.
Tomoe…
Zell kicks off the football, smartly guiding it towards Michiru.
Tomoe: Kaioh has it at the 10 and she going forward.
Raijin tackles Michiru at the 20.
Dorothy: That was quite a good stop by Raijin, and the Sailor Scouts have quite a ways to go before they can score.
1st and 10 at the 20.
Hotaru hikes the ball and hands it off to Rini, who is crushed by Seifer at the line of scrimmage.
Tomoe: Rini is again hit hard by Seifer for no gain.
Dorothy: I believe the Scouts will need a new plan now.
2nd and 10 at the 20.
Hotaru hikes the ball and drops back in the pocket.
Tomoe: My little girl is looking for someone…Looking…
Hotaru is sacked by Fujin.
Dorothy: That simply will not do for the Sailor Scouts. It looks like Luna and Artemis are searching for a new plan.
3rd and 20 at the 10.
Hotaru hikes the ball and drops back.
Tomoe: She's going to try again…
Hotaru flings the ball downfield and…
Dorothy: It's nowhere near Setsuna!
Tomoe: Things have spiraled downward for the Sailor Scouts. And trying to punt the ball away is by no means going to be an easy task.
4th and 20 at the 10.
Dorothy: It's a very bad snap, but Kino gets it off…Albeit not very well.
Seifer catches the ball at the 50.
Tomoe: Not a good punt at all! Almasy's at the 40, the 30…He's unstoppable! Wait! He's tackled by Hotaru at the five-yard line.
Dorothy: It doesn't seem to be much of a task for Zabac to drive it in.
1st and Goal at the 5.
Squall hikes the ball.
Tomoe: He hands it off to Zabac. No wait! It was a feint, and Leonhart runs the other way! He's in!
The crowd erupts in a roar of cheers.
Tomoe: The crowd seems to be loving every second of this!
Dorothy: Yes they do!
Zell completes the extra point.
Tomoe: And that is the end of the first half, where the Final Fantasy Lionhearts are leading the Sailor Moon Sailor Scouts: 21-13!
