Robbed: Write about why a team that failed to make the playoffs should have over somebody else. Can be completed at any point
The Philadelphia Liberty. They should’ve made the playoffs. There is no doubt in mind this team could’ve gone to the Ultimus if they had made it. They really seemed to have picked things up in the second half of the season. They had everything worked out but it was just a bit too late. They didn’t make the playoffs this year but the most certainly will next year. With Clifford Rove at the helm this team will go far. They looked really good in all aspects of their game. They are better than the Baltimore Hawks this year. The Hawks a good team and so are the Yellowknife Wraiths. However the Liberty have the potential and young age to take the helm for many years to come. The middle of the season was a bit of a transition for the team. A quick hot start to only have it almost completely walk away form them. Luckily they finished strong. They didnt make the playoffs but they did show the league that they will be a fierce competitor for years to come. So this year was just a taste of things to come. Watch out Wraiths, there is some real competition on the block.
Championship Game Recap: Do a recap of the best play from the championship game. Must be completed after the Championship Game
There were a lot of plays in this game that the otters made look amazing. One of those plays was Bradley Westfield’s 48 yard reception. It took the Otters out of their own end and placed them in scoring position on the Wraiths 26. Only a few plays passed since then and there was an interception by the Wraiths. Mike Boss looked again to his primary receiver Westfield but Carter had different plans. This time he made Boss look foolish. So it didnt turn into a score or points on the board but it did give them an opportunity. Neither team really had the most outstanding day, but both teams gave it their all. The wraiths have one of the best defenses and corner back pairs in the league. Westfield saw an opportunity and took it. Westfield is one of the best receivers and can often make corners look foolish. This time he did with the help of Mike Boss. Boss saw Westfield with man to man coverage and slung it in the air. The result was beautiful. In all its glory it came together like peanut butter and jelly. Boss had a bit of a difficult time but this was the best play I saw by either team.
Going to Disneyland!:Who was the Ultimus MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
Orange County Otters’ Wide Receiver, Bradley Westfield, has been named this year’s Ultimus MVP. To celebrate, Westfield took his wife, son, and parents to Disneyland where they enjoyed a few days of adventure and most importantly, relaxation. Although the Westfields are not avid Disney fans, Brad reported “spending a day in the park with my son on the rides, playing games, and making memories was every parent’s dream.” The rest of the trip was spent sampling many of the restaurants’ offerings and enjoying time in the spa with his wife, while his son enjoyed some pool time with his grandparents. The highlight of the trip was not only watching the magical nighttime parade, but riding in a float with his wife and son. “We were able to wave and thank the fans as we rode through one of the most amazing places the country has to offer. We are so grateful for the experience, especially experiencing it with my son, who ate as much candy as he threw to the children that lined the parade route.” The last day was a washout and the family spent time playing in several arcades throughout the park. Brad’s competitive nature is shared throughout his family and everyone enjoyed a day of gaming, especially a rousing afternoon air hockey tournament. Not surprisingly, Brad’s wife walked away as the champion. “Now we have two MVPs in our family,” she said as she laughed. The family was able to reconnect after a long, yet exciting season and they look forward to rooting on Brad this Fall.
Unsung Hero:Who was the unsung hero of the playoffs, convince us. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
A lot of praise is being passed around the NSFL. Some of it deserving and some of it not. During the season Eric Kennedy was unstoppable. Everyone was talking and raving about his abilities as a receiving back. During the playoffs I feel like all of that went away and focus turned onto the Wraiths Defense and Mat Akselesen. If you ask me this guy did what he needed to and took his team to the Ultimus. Not only would they have not made the playoffs without him but I dont think they would made the Ultimus if he didnt work his magic. Kennedy may not be that downhill runner that everyone can fall in love with like Bubba Nuck or Boss Tweed, but Kennedy always can get the job done. Right now the league is going through somewhat of a transition at running back. Today it a receiver back and tomorrow it might be that downhill runner. But one thing is for certain and that is that Eric Kennedy will always be in the spotlight and I feel that was taken away from him in this playoff bracket. His numbers speak for themselves. Let’s hope he gets the awards he deserves.
Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game
Firstly I will talk about the NSFC Championship game. The Yellowknife Wraiths versus the Baltimore Hawks. The hawks came in to the game as underdogs and left the same way. The Wraiths were expected to win and they did everything they were expected too. They were killer on offense and good enough on defense. Mat Akselsen exposed the weak Hawks secondary. Normally the Hawks would also fly through the aiir but the Wraiths secondary was able to keep them in check.
Secondly I will talk about the ASFC Championship game. The Orange County Otters versus the Arizona Outlaws. Again the Otters were the favorite to win and they did just that. Weirdly enough I had a dream that night about the Outlaws winning but it was just that, a dream. The Otters got it done in the first half of the game and never let go. The slowed it down the second half and made sure the clock ran down as much as possible before giving the ball back to the limping Outlaws. Mike Boss and his duo of receivers and his new weapon in Jordan Yates got the job done.
Lastly I will talk about the Ultimus Game. The Orange County Otters versus the Yellowknife Wraiths. The boxscore is actually much closer than the game shows as the Otters were in control the whole time. The Wraiths were held without a touchdown until 2 minutes left in the game.
