UPSET SPECIAL
TRIBE 12
Esdk 09
in what was billed as the battle for 1st on the island the esdk layed an egg in the biggest game of the yr so far ! they had a chance to tie for 1st in the long island division of the (Rafl) and came out fired up ! but for all the pre game antics the hooting and hollering it did not work they were out coached and out hit by the tribe . the tribe moved the ball enough to win the field position battle and win the game coming in they had the 3 rd ranked d in pts allowed and 3 ranked passing game so we all thought ok they will win they had all the momentum and had just won 2 straight . well the tribe had other things in mind and they have turned the corner as a team and organization . they are playing hard and playing together and it is really paying of big for this young team ! they are hitting and running through the long island division and right now are the one true playoff team in that division . they have the best kicker in the league and field position is huge for them along with the ball control o and very aggressive defense and they are firing on all cylinder's . i expect huge things from this team from here on out !
Panthers 48
lions 28
and the mess that is the lions season continues the lone question is will they win a game ? the panthers running game prove to be to tough to the tune of 200 yrds rushing this #5 looks like the second coming of Reggie bush slashing and dashing all night ! the lions lack of a true coaching staff showed the never made an adjustment to the toss plays and the counter plays it is gonna be a long yr for them but they are showing heart and if they finish the yr with no forfeits it will build a solid foundation for next yr ! going through this is rough and they have to rally the troops around what they have and fight for everything that's the only way to turn it around ! the panthers are starting to look a little inconsistent with the win 1 lose 1 so with five games left its all magnified for the playoff push and it may take a little Vaseline to get in the playoffs but that's why we play the game !
Nassau punishers 41
CT. ravens 00
What a way to Cristen a new field with a shutout the d missing some guys showed out for the fans ! shyne , salahoudin , Dewhite Hines , and Travis Jones the lb for the punishers showed that they are ready to roll through any run game put before them the d scored 3 times , the special teams 2x and the offense has shown all preseason they can get going to ! averaging 27 pts a game for the 5 preseason games , the rcvrs are looking like the greatest show on turf kelvin lett 2 catches 1 td , Steve paras aka (the mexican ) 2 balls 1 td , and the run game is looking good running hard and finishing plays low rider rason Burnett is leading the way with bone crushing lead blocks and runs he is a good send said coach Jim ! still the kicking game is weak and we need Craig pinto badly . but all in all the preseason was better than in yrs passed the tam stuck together and the rookies showed why they can be trusted in the big spots . next up it all counts we get the young Spartans of the (bneef ) they were the league runner up last yr and are hungry for more but they may have bitten of a little more then they can chew this time ! but that's why we play the game ! the night before the game i will do a breakdown of the punishers up coming game
same bat time same bat channel !

Week 4 let the out of conference games begin
Esdk 12
seahawks 00
The esdk just were too much the score could have been much worse but they called of the dogs ! But esdk defense is getting better by the week second shuout of the season and they are getting better , the o is looking more consistent and having good drive's keeping the defense fresh and this is leading to better team play , this will only help come playoff time ! the running game is coming together also he has 2 good backs now they are quick to the hole and have good vision to make something out of nothing #22 , #14 , are not game breakers but they are very good in there own right and run hard i expect to hear lot from the esdk in the playoffs this is not the wolfpack they can win a few games against any team in the (rafl) so we shall see as it stands now long island will have 2 playoff teams and on very good team maybe left out ! at 3-2 the midpoint of the season they have had a a couple of tough losses to the tribe and the panther's
and maybe on the outside looking in come playoff time !
brooklyn bluedevils 28
lions 00
And so it continues the education of the lions coach's after a tough loss last week they comeback this week and get shutout the bluedevils are good but the coaching staff for the lions is showing no ability to adjust to what other teams are doing . it's really becoming tough for the players i know some of those guys from there time with the ravens and they are finding it tough to get up each week but they continue to show heart by playing with what they have ! they managed to move the ball a little but that wont help and at 0-4 on the season it only downhill from here , got to find a way to get that 1st one on the season and the count down has begun how long will it take for the lions to win there 1st game ? I mean that's really why the guys give up there summer time and push themselves to the limit is to see where you stand against other teams and right now they are not matching up !
Tribe 38
kings county blackhawks 00
And this year's surprise team is the tribe they have run passed and kicked themselves in to a tie for 1st in the l.i. division and i believe they are still the class of the division ! they are playing like a true team and really sticking together they boast one of the best defenses in the (rafl ) and may have the most reliable kicker in the whole league he is money from 45 yrds out and at this level that really can boot a teams playoff chances . coach khalid merritt has brought his slow and steady approach to the o and they have built a good stout o-line and some key additions at the skill positions and now you have a true team ! and man the d is fast and hits hard they have 3 shutouts this season and have shut out the so called best team on l.i. the esdk 15 -00 week one the rematch is coming coming up next week in northport and maybe the game of the week on the island !

What is in the water in suffolk i mean you have the esdk and then the pamthers with winning records ! Never would have seen this coming from the preseason they had but coach rey has worked hard and done a good recruiting job with a great back and good defense ball control is the key . if you can stop there ball control and keep this guy #5 off the field you give your team a chance to win , if not he is gonna kill you a true game breaker and homerun hitter at this level and how other teams are letting him run wild like this is beyond me . but they are doing a great job staying in the hunt and all teams are doing a great job making long island a true threat this yr in the rafl as it stands now we may have 3 teams in the playoffs and that would truly be a thing of joy for a 3 teams to get in , Long Island stand up !
Punishers 07
Generals 17
Fireworks from the 1st whistle , the punishers jumped out early with 7 play 54 yrd drive and score by Dennis woody who capped of a rushing td with a powerful run in which he broke 4 tackles and punished 3 other would be tacklers , his backfield mate is rason (lowrider) Burnett and all night long he was putting in his work load i mean the bone crushing blocks he was throwing lead the rushing attack to the tune of a td and 89 yrds , the offense looked good , the d line which was short suffered an injury to the freak and then the rushing lanes opened up for the generals i don't think the d line has ever played this short with injuries and guy having to work but you play with what you have ! we held the generals 4 field goals and gave up a late td with 4 seconds on the game clock to make the final score 17 -7 but the game was a dog fight and i hope we see them in a post season tourny . they had a huge following the home stand s were filled and that was great to get these young guys in a hostile enviorment and see what they have , the lack of a kicking showed a few times we were inside there 30 and if boots was there we score on some of those chances , all in all it was a great game to be part of and we learned a tough lesson have to play all 4 qtr's not 3 and when we have a team down go for the throat we will be looking for the kill next week 1st ever game at our new home Cantiague Rock rd park should be a good one against the ct ravens !

Week 3 a little closer but a win is a win !
L.I. panthers 14
Esdk 15
And did they play a great game or what ? The Esdk are starting to hit a stride this team has almost never seen before , the d is smothering opposing offense's to the point that some teams are starting to think twice about running the ball ! They have a new home in north port and a new winning attitude that may carry them to be the class of the (RAFL) long island division . As usual they played and aggressive hard hitting style of d that is starting to become a staple for them ! the d is led by mlb Joe galloogly or googs and he is a tough as nails and good against the run plays fast and hard and never quits , but this game the running really helped them out number #22 is the real deal fast and elusive and has good vision rushed for a td and 75 yrds but the defense sealed the deal closing the door on the panthers to secure the win ! That's 2 in a row now and they may be starting to separate themselves !!!!
L.I. tribe 9
seahawks 8
And this game was a defensive struggle also the seahawks scored early but in new tribe fashion they never quit and this kicker may kick them to a division chip if he keeps this up . his new nick name is money because he doesn't miss from inside the 40 and 3 times he burned the seahawks to win the game ! and the tribe defense is really starting to have a swag they believe they can win and that's half the battle they know they can stop anyone when they need to ! they continue to be stout and close the door when they have but the question remains can they do it for a full 10 games ? I think they can , and as it stands right now long island in the (RAFL) has 3 playoff teams and this may be an very interesting development because this was supposed to be a week division and this may be a a better division than even i thought !
L.I. lions bye
Nassau punishers - Bye
