Buckets Fall To Maulers in Semis, 26-10

Los Angeles- The Buckets ran into a very determined Metro City Maulers team in the WFFL Semi-Finals and were done in 26-10 to end their season.

Things looked good early for L.A. as they took the opening drive all the way down to the Metro City 19 yard line- but Bucket RB Carlos Myles fumbled the ball away for the first of 3 lost L.A. fumbles on the night. The fired-up visiting Mauler players played like the home team making great plays on both sides of the ball while the Bucket crew just couldn't seem to get things going.

"Give Metro City coach Mike P. credit- he earned this win!" L.A. coach Jay T. said. "Turnovers are part of the game but hey he guessed right an awful lot of the time too. He deserves to be playing in the Insane Bowl next week!"

Thanx for the game, Metro City coach Mike P.!

Cheers,

Jay
