we will have a first time champion this season

the Kraken smother the Golden Eagles passing game and defend home turf to the delight of a sold out show. the GlaxoSmithKline Dome was absolutely rocking after RDE William Warners strip sack was returned for a TD by WLB Colonel Parker to tie the game in the second quarter. WR Benjamin Penticost rushed for 111 yards and a TD but he lost two fumbles within three minutes of gameplay and Mexico City was not able to put any points on the board in the second half

the Butchers put an end to the Revolutions hopes of returning to the Ultimate Showdown with a shutout in the bitter cold of a Chicago winter. this was a defensive battle with neither team gaining more than 80 rushing yards. no word on if HC Mitchell Smith will be returning to coach the Revolution next year. in six seasons with Philly he is 61-38-3 with three post season appearances and a trip to the Ultimate Showdown in 2071

the Owls intercept QB Cheekie - Fat Rascal 4 times while K Sam Good connects on a playoff record 6 FGs to send the Armada home for the year. it is the second time the Good has kicked 6 FGs this season and the third time in his career

the Prizefighters pull off the upset in a stunned Toyama after K Boomer Legaspis fourth quarter FG takes the lead while leaving just 13 ticks remaining. K Travis Gray missed a FG wide right with 1:43 remaining to set up QB Randy Jackson with a chance to make a couple big completions to get Legaspi in range. the effort was almost for naught when RB Samual Davis was stripped by CB Simon Tea but WR Gary Kraus was there to fall on it. the loss is a devastating one for the Zipper fanbase who believed this was their year. they have now made the playoffs 5 times now but have only won 3 play off games. HC Brian Baumann "we accomplished a lot in my first season as coach and i guarantee a trip to the Conference Showdown in my second season"

nice work Shark1720, JakeJarmel, 12uKnights & Pernbronze for making the final four......may the best team win
