Grant Sauls, second from left, tries to strip the ball out of Vernon Haynes grip as Rickie Hass, left, and Donny Drennen watch during a pick-up football game at the Northside Complex. The group which started out as a few friends and relatives, plays football every Sunday afternoon at around 1 p.m. and has grown to a sizeable group of competitors who play the game with the same committment as more "serious" players. Snow didn't slow them down at all, though it made the field a bit more hazardous.
