Buckets Fall To The Invaders, 31-21
Los Angeles-
The Buckets season comes to an end with a loss to the visiting New York Invaders, 31-21."We got out-coached in this one!" Buckets coach Jay T. Said. "We made a game of it and had a shot down 24-21 with 2:05 to play but he called a great screen against our blitz and took it all the way to the house for 36 yards and that was it. I tip my cap to New York coach Mike K. And wish him well in the Insane Bowl!"
L.A. QB Pat Binder had a bad game, throwing 2 second-half Interceptions and missing some open WR’s deep that could have really helped the Buckets' cause. "It was just one of those games. We won 16 of them but hey sometimes you just don’t get the breaks. We’ll just have to try again next season!" Jay T. said.
Congrats on the fine win, New York Invaders coach Mike K.!
Cheers,
Jay
