Buckets Get Kicked By Matewan 24-10

Matewan- The Los Angeles Buckets' ( 10-1 ) undefeated season is no more as they stumble on the road to the Matewan Coal Miners ( 5-6 ), getting out-coached and out-played 24-10.

"I tip my cap to Matewan coach Mike G.!" Buckets coach Jay T. said. "He had a few O plays he caught me off guard with for big ones. Combine that with some great D for them and that adds up to a big win for him and his team. Well now that unbeaten monkey is off our backs so we'll just have to focus on next week!"

The Coal Miners got some home-field love early in the game when Matewan's QB Randolf McCoy fumbled the ball at the L.A. 4 yard line only to be picked up by FB Robin Veasey and run in for a Touchdown to make it 14-0 for the home-field Miners.

"I knew we were in trouble then!" Jay T. said. "But we battled back and made it close- getting it to 17-10 with about 5 minutes to play. But then they dropped a 69 yard bomb on us all the way down to our 1 on the first play of their next series to eventually score and put us away."

Thanx for the GREAT GAME, Matewan coach Mike G.!

Cheers,

Jay
