L.A. Gets Playoff Beat Down 34-17 By Minneapolis in Bucket Coach's Last Game

Minneapolis- The visiting Los Angeles Buckets got run over by an excellent-coached Minneapolis Northern Lights team tonight in Buckets coach Jay T.'s final Football Pro game, 34-17. "It's been a lot of fun. Tonight's game ended with a loss here in the WFFL Insane Bowl Tournament Playoffs but I still really enjoyed playing it- right down to the last play on their 4-yard line! It's been a great run playig this game since 2001!" L.A. coach Jay T. said. "I'll now take a hiatus from Football Pro coaching. This was probably my last game played- but I will always be a fan and follow the WFFL that Commish Rob Carter and I formed togethr in 2003 and have enjoyed for 13 seasons! I tip my cap to all of the coaches I have had the pleasure to coach against in my time here!"

# 3 seed Minneapolis moves to (16-2) and the Semi-Finals and #6 seed Los Angeles falls to (12-6) to end the season in the first round of the Insane Bowl Tournament Playoffs.

Thanks for the game, Northern Lights coach Joe G.!

Cheers,

Jay
