Hey guys.. Been a busy day. Here's the Zeta conference highlights and I'll try to get the Alpha before I have to go to work. Enjoy
Bay Area Invaders 0
Brighton Bears 105Over 350 rushing yards, 75% completion percentage, and 10 offensive touchdowns about say it all for this game. The Invaders just don't have the players to compete with the rest of the league. Expect more lopsided showings like this the rest of the season. After returning an interception for a touchdown, Terence Newman picks up the fumble on the ensuing kickoff and takes it in for his second touchdown in just under 10 seconds.

Helsinki Hammers 69When I say Gibraltar isn't as bad as the total 122 points they've been outscored by this season, you should believe me. Drawing another tough contest with the Hammers this week doesn't do much for making yourself look good. Helsinki's Adrian Rollins led the way for the Hammers through the air, completing 76% of his passes for 233 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Hammers' three-headed rushing attack combined for 7 total touchdowns themselves, while the team averaged nearly 10 yards per carry. Halfback Bubba St. James would not be denied the endzone on this pitch play in the fourth quarter.

Chelsea Cardinals 28The score didn't necessarily reflect the close nature of this game as the Cardinals took control of the scoreboard early and never relinquished it. However, this game was filled with plenty of hard running and defense that was more often even tougher. TJ Owens broke the hundred yard mark and ran in two scores, but it was the passing of Dave Rosenbaum (though not his punting) that pushed them over the top in this game. He completed 58% of his passes for 190 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals defense was paced by veteran corner Allen Holt. His 8 tackles mostly came from his consistent plays in the outside rushing lanes, one going for a loss. Allen also picked up his second interception of the season. With Camelot defense primed to limit the rushing attack, Paul Hart came up big with 8 receptions, including this one for a touchdown in the third quarter.

Ironton Tanks 48Cedar Creek's introduction to A2 continues to be tough this week with the Tanks in town. Everyone looking for holes to exploit on the Tanks didn't get much to see in this one. They were solid from start to finish. The Tanks won with their typical stingy defense and a balanced offense that saw 200 yards passing to go along with over 300 on the ground in this blowout. Linebacker "Knockout" Jones had 2 sacks for the Tanks defense, and receiver Duane Lemieux continually stretched the field racking up 123 yards on 4 catches. The second of his two touchdown catches came on this play in the second quarter.

Eindhoven Breakers 38Eindhoven blanked the host Roosters while racking up nearly four times the yardage on offense. Breakers QB Darth Chadius had an amazing day completing 11 of 12 passes (that's nearly 92% for those keeping track) for 118 yards. Running back Tyler Wilde had another big game this week finding the endzone 4 times. This second quarter run was the first of them.

The Maulers won their second game of the early season over visiting Copenhagen. Maulers QB Outfor Blood had a big day throwing the ball 50 times and finishing the day with 178 yards through the air. The play of the day however belonged to the Razorbacks. This play where middle linebacker Olaf Eriksson picks up the loose ball and runs it into the endzone gave Copenhagen a temporary 7-0 lead.

Rome had their way in another game with some prolific passing. Starter Stan Grady completed 71% of his passes, while the Bulls' runners piled up nearly 300 yards on the ground. Uber Charge averaged over 7 yards per carry and landed in the endzone three times, including on this run, his second touchdown run of the first quarter.

Rockaway Knights 17Rockaway got in the win column this week after their trip to Hamburg. The Knights defense held the Parrots to just 154 yards of total offense, while the offense moved the ball well. De'vion Moore rushed for 137 yards on 28 carries and accounted for both Knights touchdowns. He took this pitch in for a score in the second quarter to give Rockaway the lead after the Parrots' early field goal.
