The Nazareth Swifts suffered through a tough a game against Sunray on August in which they lost 58-6. It did not take long for things to get ugly as the Swifts were tackled for a safety on the second play of the game. After the free kick Sunray moved the ball down the field to score the first of 7 touchdowns on the day for them.

On the second possession for the Swifts resulted in a fumble into the end zone which Sunray recovered for their 2nd touchdown of the day, "It's tough to win when you essentially spot a team 17 points to start the game", said Head Coach Coby Emery.
The Swifts finally got out of the first quarter and on their first possession of the second moved the ball very efficiently down the field to their only score of the day. The resulting 2 point attempt failed on a botched snap as did the onside kick following the touchdown. When asked about the series of events Coach Emery responded with the following comments, "I really felt like the failed onside kick and Sage going down with heat exhaustion broke our back. I felt like we had a great opportunity to recover and though that would have boosted our moral tremendously if we had done so."
Unfortunately for the Swifts, Sunray took advantage of the short field and added another touchdown to the score board. The rest of the game continued in much the same fashion.
Coach Emery finished up with these comments about the upcoming game with Olton, "Olton is a quality football team. Coach Baker has done a fine job of helping the Mustangs turn the program around. I think this weeks match up will be very competitive, and I believe we will play much better."
