#1 North By Gawd Texas Tornado Humpers vs. #2 Pontiac War Kittens
Well, well, well. If it's not #1 vs #2. The Humpers laid a beat down on Jacktown that got ugly in a hurry and ended ugly too. Jacktown put up a minimal effort to run the ball, but were forced to air it out to try and keep pace with the Humpers who just ground ground out the clock running on the ground. Although Jacktown only coughed up the ball once, that wasn't the deciding factor, Tornado's HB Tote DaRock was gaining 213.5 yards on 36 attempts for a respectful 5.6 avg with 3 TDs and 12 broken tackles. Two WRs for the Humpers came up big as well, Kyle Hoffman and Shayden Skidmore, each with 6 receptions and a TD. They came to the championship undefeated and the obviously plan on staying that way. Best to you next season Jacktown in whichever league you end up in.
The War Kittens' story is bit different though as they exchanged scores in the first half to leave it tied up and then gave up and early TD in the 3rd to fall behind by 7. Not wanting to sit in their own litter box with the smell of defeat all off-season, the War Kittens decided that were done playing with the Mavericks and closed out the rest of the game with a 24-7 scoring finish and tacked on the winning 10 points as the last 10 points scored. Pontiac had the edge rushing and the passing game was even, including their exchange of INTs. Pontiac's FB Dahk Hollywood was the most impressive runner with 86.5 yards on 13 carries for a 6.7 yard avg with 2 TDs and 21 broken tackles. Ironic that HB Rueben Mayes was Pontiac's best receiver on the day, so he took Pontiac's game day honors.
How do the two stack up?
In their previous match up, the Humpers won 55-23 in a sleeper as the Humpers dominated the ground game and that my friends, is the key again. We all know that the Humpers are going to run it down Pontiac's throats, so they don't need to worry about stopping it, just containing it and not letting it get out of hand since the the passing attack isn't something to be feared to any great measure. Pontiac continued to run the ball in the last meeting, despite losing so badly and there's no way to tell if that was intentional or accidental, but either way, they can afford the same game plan this time.
Moderator Prediction: Humpers over the Kittens in a mildly interesting match.
Assistant Moderator Predictions (my two Maine Coons): Kittens lay beat down never seen before.
Eeew, somebody cleaned the litter box and left a mess. Sorry Pontiac.
