Old Man Don't Got It!
Week 5!
This week was massive, with exciting matches, and bewildering upsets.
Div 1
Old man don't got it:
In Stephen Harripersaud's substitution game against Double Dippers, Steve fell just short. The match was a back and forth when one team got the advantage another clapped back. When the game went to OT and the outlaws just couldn't punch it in Double Dippers striked and came out with the W. The game was high stakes and you couldn't tell who'd win until the final whistle but ultimately Double Dippers won 37-36
THE QB:
Unlike Stephen Harripersaud's performance Guilaume's stint at QB actually ended in a win for the outlaws. Idaho's offense couldn't find it's engine in the first half while Outlaws where rolling. The first half curse did wear off but not in time. The defecit was just too large for Idaho to overcome with the Outlaws winning 40-34.
Div 2
Looking for Hope:
In the match between Lion's Den and Bines Kris Hope went off! Jonathan Menard found his favorite receiver in the end zone 3 times. Les Bines offense wasn't shabby either it was just two costly picks that created a gap in the score too great to overcome. The Lion's Den picked up the W 26-20
Western Shootout:
The Drama Club and La Horde, had an absolute shootout this week! The game was a constant back and forth but Drama Club's outcome was plagued by a weak second half. The first was guns blazing then died down in the second and that was where La Horde struck and with two consistent half, barely came out with the win 41-38
Div 3
Defensive overload:
In the match between La Horde and Mustard Tigers, La Horde's strong defense was a X factor. The mustard tigers struggled to break through the wall that is La Horde's defense, and La Horde's offense was just a unit. The picks comparison is the difference with La Horde having two and Mustard Tigers having 4. The game's final score was 37-24
Overpowering offense:
In the match between MTL Cessnas and Les Petits Phoques, despite a huge pick 6 from the Cessnas the outcome was a lot different than expected. Despite the Cessnas tough defense getting them 2 picks one being a pick 6, Les Petits Phoques just could not be denied, getting their own pick. The offense never slowed despite the picks and Cessnas just couldn't keep up. The final score was 40-25 Phoques.
Div 4
Electric display:
In the match between Superbowl cut and Nothing but D the game came down to the wire! Both teams were shutout on defense having a fairly close game with no one gaining an edge. That was until Superbowl cut drove the field and scored leaving the game at 18-14 with 48 seconds left. But Kyle Baker wasn't done yet and was throwing bombs to the end zone but the Superbowl cut defense cut off every attempt to hold onto the win 18-14
Unmovable defense:
In the match between Atlas and Nothing but D, Nothing but D lived up to the name not letting Atlas score without a fight. The game was low scoring with each team picking at a score. Neither team could grasp any substantial ground until the end of the first where nothing but D double dipped scoring at the end of the first and beginning of the second. Atlas couldn't recover after that losing 19-12.
Div 5
No gain:
Following a common denominator throughout the week, Wong dynasty and The Blue Brewers could not find the end zone. Each team scored once in the first both in the middle of the half and after that neither team could figure their offense out. The game remained at 6-6 until OT where Wong dynasty punched in an extra point to take the victory 7-6.
Second half struggles:
In the match between MTL Cessnas and Sour peeps, a suffering second half ruined a team. The sour peeps had the lead going into the second but the Cessnas shut them out. Their defense was untouchable and sour peeps couldn't find a spark. The Cessnas came out with the victory 25-18.
Div 6
First ever overtime!:
This week in division 6 we saw the first ever overtime in the history of our division. The teams to remember are the Goon squad and Black Jacks. Each team controlled a half. The goons scored twice in the first ergo Black Jacks twice in the second. Then the historical moment where the game went into overtime. It was the Black Jacks who claimed the victory 13-12 in this matchup to remember.
Women's Division
Classic shootout:
In a common matchup between the Drama Queens and Déeses Du Drapeau, you couldn't tell which team would win. The game was high stakes no team wanted to lose. Each team was fighting for the win, but only 1 could prevail. Through thick and thin and heavy plays the Drama Queens came out with the W 31-27. A CLUTCH interception by Kayla Gauthier with 4 minutes left shifted momentum onto the Queens side and a first down run by Génieve sealed the game.
