The Kirkland offense squandered that scoring opportunity two plays later with a fumble, but got another chance when Adams turned the ball right back over on its first offensive play.
The triumph was an important one for the K-House gridders, who tied the Flames for third place in house football's AFL division. Both Adams and Kirkland have 1-2 records and will advance to next week's playoffs.
Kirkland won the coin toss, elected to receive, and both squads lined up to get the game going. The officials were about to call for the Flame kick off, when the Adams sideline brought it to their attention that there was no ball on the field.
The embarrassed zebras quickly found a pigskin, and the game finally got underway. Starting from the Adams 49 after Captain Nick Lillig's long kickoff return, K-House wasted no time.
On second down, quarterback Rob DeVirgilio missed a handoff, but salvaged the play, cutting outside and scrambling 31 yards to the Adams 16. Lillig then ran to the four, giving Kirkland first and goal.
