From the Wasps’ Nest, Chakota

Hallas scored two Rogues in the first half (safeties for US fans) and Kobe Carey returned the second half kickoff 96 yards for a TD as the Stars romped away to a 35-14 win over the Wasps in Chakota last night.

After 17 minutes play, the score was 7-0, but with two Rogues and a Field Goal, not the normal way of accumulating these points. it was 14-7 at the half, following an Amani Sanders catch and run. The second half began with a Carey TD return and then following a Chakota three and out- a Wilson 2 yard TD dive. At 28-7 it looked all over.

Drew Williams threw for 311 yards,two scores and one pick, whilst the defence racked up six QB Marks (Sacks for US fans), with three from monster DT Latavius Gill.

When not being pressured, Wasps’ QB Billy Humphrey managed only 171 yards, 1 TD and threw an INT. Humphrey left the game late in the second Quarter, but returned in the 4th Quarter.

Monday Night Fight!

PFL Season 2017-18 | Week Eleven | Monday Night Game

   OAKLAND RAVENS  16
   CHAKOTA WASPS 15

	1	2	3	4	ET	FT
OAKLAND	3	3	3	7	–	16
CHAKOTA	2	3	3	7	–	15

From the Wasps’ Nest, Chakota.

What a war it was on Monday Night between divisional rivals Chakota and Oakland. Both teams defence’s were on top and the game was full of brutal, albeit legal hits and tackles. Tempers flared over at times, but the referees seemed to keep their cool when other’s did not.

This was not a game for those who enjoy flashy high scoring games, for the defensive knock-down, hustling, bustling fight- this was a game for you!

At the end of the first quarter, it was 3-2 , with a Philips field goal and a Tomkowski rogue (safety for US fans), when he was tackled in his own end zone.

In the second and third quarters, both teams could only trade field goals. Humphrey had thrown four picks and Tomkowski two. each team had lost two fumbles and given up nine penalties.

The Wasps thought they had won it when Wiley returned a punt 76 yards for the score, however. The Ravens managed to make one decent drive, going 86 yards for the score. Dante Fulcher dived into the endzone from a yard out on 3rd and goal with 4:19 left to play.  The Wasps got the ball back but could not move the chains.

The Ravens go ahead of the Wasps in PFL Central. Brutal game, compulsive viewing.

PFL Week Four wrap up

PFL Week 4 Roundup

One team still undefeated? Many teams at 2-2? What went down this past weekend in the PFL:

Oakland Ravens remained undefeated following a Field Goal contest with the Iomagh Steelers. The game finished 9-6!

The Chakota Wasps shut out the visiting Harteford Hawks 20-0. Humphrey looks hot, the Harteford Hawks do not. Guess last week was a fluke, huh?

Eregon Eagles moved to 2-2 by beating the San Angelo Miners 28-14. Brandon Mullen struggled against the Eagles defence, taken down by Jeff Holliday three times.

New Jorg 96ers left it late to win at home to Caligara 23-17. The ‘sixers continue to look impressive, being a surprise team this season. It took no time for Kurt Sierra to settle in at QB and he has lit a flame under WR Asante Brown’s boots and gloves. The defence is stacked too.

The Trojans needed an extra-time field goal to win against the Tallassea Oilers in Rochester. QB Ryan Bruce led them to a late tying touchdown with 17 seconds left in regulation. The Oilers lost another close one, surely their luck will change soon?

St George’s defence capitulated at home to the Hallas Stars (41-17). The Sharks gave up 40 points for the second time in four weeks. Drew Williams returned to fine form in the onslaught.

Ballymore got revenge for the Crystal Bowl XLVI loss in Adelphia against the Phoenix. The Tigers won 20-14, following Slater’s late TD run. Bo Mills left the game early, with Cam Rogers filling in well. Adelphia’s defence showed signs of cracking against the run down the stretch.

On Monday Night, the Landor Knights won 22-9 against the visiting Melborg Giants in an all-PFL East clash. Elijah Brooks led their balanced attack, as the team improved to 2-2. At 1-3, The Giants need to start winning soon, before the get thrown out of the play-off picture.

Week three wrap up

PFL | Week 3 | 2017-18

Oakland remain as the only undefeated team after three rounds! The Ravens go into this Friday Night fixture hoping to go 4-0. What a league season this is turning out to be.

New Jorg 96ers rallied late to a 20 – 13 victory away to the Ballymore Tigers, Asante Brown caught 8 passes, Kurt Sierra gained 311 yards through the air.  Tigers QB Bo Mills struggled to run the offence, will he still be starting next week?

Rochester Trojans dispatched the hosting San Andreas Miners 45 – 35. Ryan Bruce returned to fine form this week, throwing for 389 yards and three TDs. San Andreas couldn’t keep up, their defence is leaking yardage and points. This was another weary display from that side of the board.

One of the PFL’s only undefeated teams, the Oakland Ravens, remained that way on Sunday. They beat St. George Sharks 21-14 at home. The Ravens have looked very solid and adaptable in all stages of the game so far this year.  An all round team.

The Melborg Giants got their first win, due to three missed kicks by the Chakota Wasps. Problems with the longsnapper-holder exchange caused Wall to miss two field goals and an extra point attempt. The Giants held on to open their win account for the season.

One of the PFL’s only undefeated teams, Iomagh Steelers lost 7 – 14 to the Tallassea Oilers– the Oilers first win of the year. In a low-scorer, the Oilers managed a late touchdown to break a 7-7 deadlock. Again, Edjerious Jones was held to just three catches.

In Hallas, the Adelphia Phoenix destroyed the Hallas Stars 37 – 13 with Matt Kelly throwing three touchdown tosses. The Stars committed four turnovers, meaning they couldn’t keep up.

In the late Sunday game, Landor Knights lost to the Caligara Bulldogs 20 – 26. We’ve already talked about that.

In the Monday evening slot, Harteford Hawks opened their account with a 20 – 10 win at Eregon. The Eagles showed no composure up front and the Hawks finally showed some football gumption. It was in front of the Monday Night audience too!

 

 

Sunday Sizzlers!

PFL Week 3 | Sunday games

We thought we would be  in for a treat- and we were yesterday. In the late afternoon game, Adelphia marched over Hallas, 37-13 at the Stardome. Matt Kelly threw for three TDs and Drew Williams was picked off three times. The game was very entertaining to watch- easy on the eye as both teams moved the ball. It was perhaps the four turnovers that stopped the scoreline being so close. But hey, it was good Sunday watching for the neutral.

Matt Kelly passed for 258 yards , in a very much improved performance than last week- where Oakland shut the passing game down. Marshall Knight gained 141 yards on the ground. The Stars could not protect the ball, which was their undoing (three picks and a fumble from Williams).

Then, for the Sunday Night Game, we had a very close 26-20 win for the home team in Caligara, as the Bulldogs beat the defending champions Landor Knights. The Bulldogs dreamt up the perfect game plan, running nearly 50 times (47 atts) and commanding the time of possession- at nearly 40 mins. By doubling down on Rashaan Johnson, Landor had to find other options.  Although Shyrone Rogers had 10 catches for 241 yards- 79 on the first pass play and 49 on their penultimate drive. He WAS the Landor offence.

Zack Slater completed 17 of 23 passes, for 246 yards and one score. Jeremy Franklin gained 101 yards (28 atts) for the ‘Dogs. An Old school approach won out the day.

Ryan McKenzie was quiet on the day for the Knights, gaining only 32 yards, and key to the fightback, fumbled a pass from Brooks, which the Bulldogs recovered.

Zack Slater drills a TD pass to Max Buchanon.
