A flag football team based in New Orleans is one step closer to winning a $1 million prize after coming through with a victory in the American Flag Football League (AFFL) amateur semifinals on Saturday (July 7) night.
Fighting Cancer defeated Primetime, a team from the Mid-Atlantic, 35-14.
With the victory, Fighting Cancer advances to the finals of the amateur bracket of the tournament. They will play next week in Indianapolis.
The win also gave Fighting Cancer a $25,000 bonus. The team will play for $50,000 next week. If they win the amateur side of the bracket, they will play the winner of the four-team pro bracket - which could feature a team captained by either Michael Vick, Chad Ochocinco, former basketball player Nate Robinson or track gold medalist Michael Johnson - for $1 million.
