Buckets Get Huge Win Over Metro City 34-26
Los Angeles-
The visitng Metro City Maulers ( 7-4-1 ) really put on a show but it was the home team Buckets ( 11-1 ) that came through with the big win, finally ending their 3-game losing streak to coach Mike P. with a rousing 34-26 win."We had some home-field love, that's for sure!" Buckets coach Jay T. said. "Returning a kickoff 97 yards for our first TD was massive. That was the first time I had seen that in 9 seasons of WFFL play! Metro City had a lot of breaks early in the game but things finally went our way in the 2nd half - we got it going at just the right time."
Thanx for the AWESOME game, Metro City coach Mike P.!
Cheers,
Jay
