Los
Angeles- The Buckets ( 12-5 ) had a real tough game on their hands tonight but
managed to edge out a well-coached Charlotte Chargers ( 4-13 ) team at home, 20-14.
"They brought a great game plan! I recognized several of those plays he had hehehe
somebody must have given him a few!" Buckets coach Jay T. said. "It came down to
a few clutch plays and fortunately we came out on top in this one. We needed it badly as
we did not want to go into the Insane Bowl Tournament on a 4-game losing streak!"
Thanx for the great game, Charlotte Chargers coach Steve C.!
Cheers,
Jay
With the score tied at 14 with 2:30 left to play, L.A. Buckets QB Pat Binder finds HB Carlos Myles over the middle for this TD to eventually seal the hard-fought win, 20-14.
