I guess I also need to highlight our bots on defense one of which had a pick 6(LiterallyJust ABot) and another one that had our only 2 TFL's on the day(Taco's).
A strong way to finish off the season and off to the playoffs!
On to the conference championships where Tijuana continued their strong run of late beating the Dallas Birddogs by a score of 26-13 to take us to the Ultimini for the second straight year.
On the offensive side of the ball we didn't have the best game but the gameball goes to Miracle Whip who managed 85 yards on his 17 carries for an average of 5 yards per carry as well as one of our 2 touchdowns as well as hauling in his only target for another 2 yards. An honorable mention goes to TE Gronku Muerto who caught 6 of his 7 targets for 80 yards and our other touchdown for the day.
Now for the defensive side of the ball where we really shined in this game the gameball goes to LB In Active who was doing a bit of everything this game leading the team with 12 tackles, our only 2 tackles for loss on the day, racked up a sack as well as got a PD as well in our defenses dominating effort. A few honorable mentions go to Sheriff Woody who managed 9 tackles as well as our other sack today. As well as Rean Schwarzer who continued his good form by getting a pick right at the start of the game to set the tempo and 4 PD's today.
Now off to the Ultimini which did not exactly go to plan here where Tijuana made it back for the second straight year but fell 40-0 against the Minnesota Grey Ducks.
On the offensive side of the ball we couldn't sustain much of any consistent offense due to our turnover issues on the day, but the offensive gameball goes to Jason Waterfalls who hauled in 9 of his 12 targets for 82 yards, with an honorable mention going to Gronku Muerto who caught 7 of 9 passes for 75 yards on the day.
For the defensive side we couldn't hold up to Minnesota's standout offense especially with the short fields they got with our offensive turnovers. The Defensive gameball goes to In Active who managed 3 tackles, a sack as well as forcing and recovering a fumble on the day, one of our few bright spots. A honorable mention goes to Sheriff Woody with his 5 tackles on the day, as well as a pair of sacks and 2 PD's to lead the team there as well.
It was a disappointing end to the season for Tijuana but I and I hope the rest of my team had a great time during the season and I'm looking forward to the next one whether I'm up with OCO, or staying down with the Luchas.
Hope everyone enjoyed this and I have a link to my preseason/Week 1 gameballs as well if anyone wants to look.
