Celebrate 445th Year Of Existence

St Augustine in Florida, the oldest city in America will celebrate 445th year of its existence. St Augustine will remember its founding by Spaniard Pedro Menendez de Aviles and the ceremony will conclude by the thanksgiving mass.

Davis Walker, director of the Florida Living History said-

In September 1565, 445 years ago, Adm. Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles disembarked in Matanzas Bay and founded St. Augustine, the oldest occupied European city and port in US territory.

One walker said –

“When Menendez de Aviles died in 1574, his body was transported in a wooden coffin to Santander (Spain) so that he could receive a Christian burial” in his native land.

Bowden was delighted to see a big play offense with some hard hitting and opportunistic defense during the match which ended with Florida at 42 and Wisconsin at 13. 

It has been for the first time since the year 2004 that Florida has managed to secure eight wins in a series. Bowden had an impressive track record with nine victories being a given for his team. He managed to achieve that in seventeen of the eighteen seasons that he was part off. In recent years his performance has gone down.

Florida has been missing many of its key players who are all set to make a come back next season. This gives Bowden even more hope of securing better results in the upcoming season.

Dekoda Watson and Derek Nicholson were spot on with their turnaround touchdowns converted from fumbles. Two TD passes from Christian Ponder got him in the land light and punter Graham Gano earned the MVP of the match.

During the match the senior player Nicholson made two fumble recoveries. He managed to return one over 75 yards that got the first quarter score. Gano had an impressive average of 48.2 yards on five. He also managed to get three downs inside the five of the Badgers that earned him the MVP of the match.

Ponder with his 18 for 31 for 199 yards said “Once we got our feet on the ground, we were almost unstoppable out there, we got into a groove and every one was making plays.”

Sherer from the losing Wisconsin side was recorded as saying “I was disappointed in everything out there; I didn’t make the plays we needed. They made it tough on us early with the punts, but we really kind of shot ourselves in the foot and allowed them to do that.”

For Wisconsin the match was yet another slap in the face in a season that they would not like to remember. The team was at the number eight position at the start of the year but has lost valuable ground due to poor performances during the year. Wisconsin couch said regarding the victorious opponent’s performance “That was a huge play, I didn’t think they would overturn it.”
