Buckets Win Wild Shootout With Road Warriors 35-34

Omaha- In a back-and-forth game the L.A. Buckets ( 3-0 ) prevailed over the Omaha Road Warriors ( 1-2 ) winning the roller-coaster 35-34.

"This was another classic!" L.A. coach Jay T. said. "We had 4 turnovers and yet we somehow overcame them and pulled it out with another gut-check 4th-quarter drive. I tip my hat to Omaha coach Brian J. for calling a great game."

The Road Warriors erased a late 9-point defecit by scroing 15 straight in the 4th quarter and taking 34-28 lead with 7 minutes to play. L.A. then put together a key 12-play drive to get the game-winning TD with a minute to go. Omaha drove to the Buckets 49 yard line before they ran out of time.

Thanx again fro the GREAT GAME, Omaha coach Brian J.!

Cheers,

Jay
