European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 28, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday november 28, 1991 the stars and stripes a Page 21commentarytitle game was a great rematch prep football 1991 Vintage bowed out in a Blaze of glory saturday when the Wiesbaden warriors nipped Frankfurt 18-16 on the tiebreaker to end the eagles bid for a perfect season and win the big schools championship. A Charlie thought the last game was a thriller. Believe me that was Dull compared to this one a a beaming Darryl Schwartz exclaimed. A of course Frankfurt won that first game and we won this one. I was a Basket Case at the end it was so exciting. �?o1 said last week that 1 expected another Tough game because things arc always Tough whenever Wiesbaden and Frankfurt get together a and they get much tougher than this game. I hated to spoil Charlies Farewell. No really 1 did to it was a great Schwartz who had just won his second big schools Crown As Wiesbaden coach was talking about his Good Friend Charlie Toth the out going Frankfurt coach. Toth had just wrapped up his coaching career and is headed into administration at Frankfurt starting next fall. A this has been a great year at Frankfurt a Toth said following the Squeaker. A it would have been Nice for the kids to win the game and finish undefeated but they have nothing to be ashamed of. They re the aaa champions and they played an outstanding game today. We just did no to get those conversion the conversion Points were the two Points Tobias Slater saved with a flying lunge that deflected a Chad Nighbert pass away from Frankfurt receiver Webster Lang Home. This came after the eagles had scored a touchdown on the first play of their Possession in the tiebreaker system which Dodds employs. Wiesbaden scored a couple of minutes earlier and then made a two Point conversion after a missed Pat kick was voided by a roughing the kicker Levy against the eagles. It was another one of those games a just like the first one when Nighbert hit Lang Home on a 64-Yard to pass with 36 seconds remaining to give the eagles a thrilling 27-26 win.
