L.A. Holds Back The Reign, 17-0

Los Angeles- The Albany Reign ( 6-3 ) came to town with hope of knocking off the undefeated Buckets ( 9-0 ) but L.A. gutted out yet another tough win with some great Defense and just enough Offense to get the win 17-0.

"I tip my cap to Albany coach Chad S. - his D is amazing and he moved the ball on us okay they just couldn't find the Endzone. We made some plays right when we needed them and we got a gritty win over a great team."

Leading only 7-0 late into the 3rd Quarter, the Buckets finally got some breathing room when Los Angeles's QB Pat Binder found WR Newton Putnam for a big 33 yard gain all the way down to the Albany 1-yard line where HB Carlos Myles later punched it in to give a 14-point lead. Rookie Kicker James Neat later iced it with a 33 yard FG with 7:50 to play in the 4th.

Thanx for the great game, Albany coach Chad S.!

Cheers,

Jay

[21:39] JayTando: great game bro

[21:39] Chad S-Albany: Ouch!

[21:39] JayTando: man your D played well

[21:40] Chad S-Albany: not from my end it wasn't

[21:40] Chad S-Albany: :)

[21:40] Chad S-Albany: yours played better

[21:40] JayTando: that little flip play you called was originally designed by Alex K - a great play huh?

[21:40] Chad S-Albany: yea

[21:40] JayTando: you got a ton of yards on it- it is very hard to defend and kept you in the game

[21:40] Chad S-Albany: yea, but you kept mixing it up. couldn't sustain anything

[21:41] JayTando: I got no love with it until late in the game- but yours worked all night LOL

[21:41] JayTando: my first drive was the best- my RB broke a lot of tackles and carried me on that one

[21:41] Chad S-Albany: well, you totally stomped me this time, no doubt about it

[21:41] JayTando: you were very much alive until 4th quarter I finally put it away

[21:42] JayTando: had I turned it over like you did last season= I lose

[21:42] Chad S-Albany: I never felt like I could move it on you enough to score though

[21:42] Chad S-Albany: nah, I couldn't get it in the end zone

[21:42] JayTando: you gave me 14 free points last season- if I gave them to you I was toast

[21:42] JayTando: my punt returns saved my bacon too

[21:42] Chad S-Albany: I better get off the computer and let my wife have some time on it. Well played game though

[21:42] Chad S-Albany: yea, your punt returns were awesome

[21:42] JayTando: but even with great field position you kept stopping me!!

[21:43] Chad S-Albany: you kicked butt on D

[21:43] JayTando: thanx bro I will post files once you send them.. thanx again for a great game my friend

[21:43] Chad S-Albany: you too. good job

[21:43] JayTando: you are a playoff team for sure

[21:43] JayTando: I like your coaching a lot you will win a lot of games

[21:43] Chad S-Albany: yea, but probably won't get too far if my offense doesn't start playing

[21:44] Chad S-Albany: thanks

[21:44] JayTando: cheers and GL next week sir

[21:44] Chad S-Albany: thanks you too
