panthers 14
phila mustangs 00
Another one bites the dust the panthers running game may be able to carry them to a great playoff run ! As long as the d is pitching shutouts they have a chance against any team in the rafl and with this new found attitude they a riding high
Esdk 22
seahawks 00
And the esdk are trying to show they can compete come playoff time they get the 16th seed and get the #1 team in the league and an early exit but like lotto you have to be in it to win it kudos to them for just making the playoffs !
Nassau Punishers 06

12 Rounds and the defense still is strong!
We have always had a good defense but I think now the Punishers have a great defense. After 12 quarters of football and 180 minutes, the defense hasn't given up a point! A SINGLE POINT and they have played perhaps 3 of the top 10 teams in the league. The defense is the story of this season with the revitalized running game being a close second. The defense on Saturday night was outstanding again holding the Knights out of the endzone and didn't give up to much. The one good play of the game was a skinny post that went for big yards but besides that the Knights offense was non existent and the only yards the defense really gave up were the yards the Punishers gave them on penalties. The Knights had good field position several times but big time plays by Thomas Grubbs and Kyle Anderson kept them at bay and out of field goal position. The darkside has added players like Thomas Grubbs, Johnny Moinz, Patrick Eustache, Salah Wali, Brad McKoy who have come in and filled big time roles. Some can be starters on other teams but come in and fit into the team concept of Coach Daves defense. The Knights defense was stellar as well. The lone touchdown coming on a 19 yard run from quarterback Quinton Dupree. Quinton led the team well making big throws and the right decisions throughout the entire game. His numbers wont jump out at you but his leadership is huge. With him being the quarterback the entire game he new he had a huge burden on his shoulders but through his college experience he was able to lead the team. The running game was strong again as Jerry Edwards led the team with 12 carries and 53 yards. With veterans Levon Mosley and Durell Bradley pitching in big time. "We have to be successful in the red zone. We were inside the twenty a few times and came away with nothing. The Knights are a GREAT team and there defense gave us fits. We were able to make some plays on some downs and the plan was to grind and take what the defense would give us." said Coach Jim. The Punishers are much like the Baltimore Ravens who won the Super Bowl. Great defense with and offense that just got it done. The Punishers are fine with that and we model our self after that team. The Punishers don't have the 30 point offense every week. We just come out and play hard nose football. Middlesex Vikings are up next and once again Another playoff team from last season!

The theme coming into this week was to just be prepared and everyone be ready. The Punishers visited the Westchester Packers for a brawl on Sunday afternoon. It seemed like in this fight though only one team was punching as the Punishers "Black Eye" defense continued its dominance over the BNEFF. The defense came out and played quite effectively even with some of the "starters" on the sideline serving a one quarter suspension for missing practice. Those who stepped in there place simply played hard and showed that the Punishers defense is a team defense and a true team concept. The defensive line controlled the game as the Packers were never able to mass a single running play over 7 yards and most likely finished the game in the negative running the ball. The Packers offensive scheme didnt fool the defensive backs either as they continued to keep the air clear as there were no big plays made. Even with the addition for BNEFF MVP Rashid Darrisaw, the Punishers simply punished the Packer offense all day.
The Punishers on offense came out early in the game to establish the run with there numerous types of running backs. "I have so many backs! Every time I look I can just grab a guy and put him in an not worry about the running missing a beat." said Coach Jim. The story of the game is the offensive line who were sick of hearing they cant run block and they came out to show that they can and they did as the Punishers running game amassed over 125 yards in rushing and a touchdown. The true testament of the offensive line's brilliance was the massive 2nd quarter drive that went 17 plays for over 8 minutes and ended with a 2 yard touchdown by new tailback Jerry Edwards. The unsung hero's are the quarterbacks who both played brilliantly though in the first half the running game was so dominant, we rarely through. When we did have to run Steve Newman did a great job at moving the team up field. A few drops hurt his numbers but his confidence builds in Coach Jim's offense each week. In the second half the play action was key as the QB Quinton Dupree was able to hit Mr. Touchdown "Kelvin Lett" for two strikes to seal the game and rip the heart out of the Packers and there fans.
The Punishers now stand with 2 shutouts in two weeks in the BNEFF! They are primed for there showdown against the New England Knights who have won national championships at this level. "That game will show us where we really are. Our defensive line is the heart of our team and our Offensive line is our soul." said Coach Jim. The Punishers are looking forward the challenge as we all know the BNEFF will be watching and watching closely! SHOWDOWN IN 6 DAYS!

The week to take control !
(long island current standings)
punishers 6-1
tribe 7-4
panthers 5-7
Esdk 8-9
lions 2-5
As you can see from the standings for the punishers there really is no reason next season or pre season to play anyone but the tribe the 2 teams have never faced off, and it would be a great event long islands top 2 programs go head to head !
And now to the game's and sound the upset alarm , The long island lions do it again !
Lions 18
Tribe 00
Up against the #1 team in there division the LI Lions defense pitches its first shutout of the season rarely letting the tribe into the red-zone and LB # 9 Dexter McRae coming up with the one handed interception on the 10 yard line to stop the Tribes Best Scoring opportunity. The offense played hard all game with early scores by # 6 Stevie Leach(1 Rush TD) and # 3 Byron Eason(1 Rush TD). Late in the game with a 12-0 score QB # 16 Eddie Dixon(1 Passing TD) over came 3 early interceptions to throw a TD to TE # 85 Rodney MyRick(1 Rec TD) to put the game out of reach for the Tribe (THANKS TO THE LIONS FOR THIS WRITE UP) So now they have won 2 in row and seem to be finding there swagger and looking like the new coaching staff knows how to win a game or 2 and making themselves relevant on long island again , but here is a big test for them on the 12th ,they get to play the the #1 team in that division again this time in tribe country ! should be a great game as the tribe will want some get back for that loss it really hurt there seeding for the playoffs . but can they bounce back we will see if khalid can rally the troops the way he has all season !
Esdk 7
panthers 6
And to say these 2 teams hate each other would be an understatement when these 2 meet you can lock up the women and children because a war is gonna be had in between the white lines the game was all about the d and who's D would break 1st , to bad for the panthers there D broke ! And may have cost them a playoff birth ! for the Esdk they may have risen from the playoff depths and if they can win out and get a little help from the division may make the playoff its gonna be tough but hey on any given sun anything can happen , this game was filled with turnovers by both teams and that seemed to keep the games close both running games were non existent and that made it easy for esdk to focus on the pass , same goes for the panthers , but a side note props to all the li division teams this close to the end and still looking for a playoff birth is great !
PUNISHERS OPEN NEW FIELD WITH A WIN !!!
punishers 12
spartans 00
DARKSIDE GETS THE SHUTOUT - You can call it ugly , you can say that the punishers looked sloppy, say what you will but its a w ! in yrs past we would have folded in games like this nailbitters have been tough on us but i think this team has turned the corner ! The guys stuck together and brought home a victory led by De #99 (the freak)Shawn mcclean intercepted a shovel pass and rumbled 60 yrds for the score ! That opened up the scoring and the spartans were rocked and reeling thats how the 1st half ended 6-0 , the second half opened with the punishers getting the ball and from there 30 yrd Qb#11 Mike leccesse dropped a bomb to the sensational rookie kelvin lett #25 a 45 yrd strike and td and thats number 9 on the season and with 9 games left in the regular season he may get 15 which would be a rec for the new punishers the Darkside totaled 4 sacks and 3 picks great way to open the season !

Esdk 06
brklyn bdogs 46
I have nothing to say regarding this game they layed a goose egg and may have lost the playoffs with this loss but it has been the story of there season , in big games they failed to show up !
tribe 27
panthers 06
tribe jumped out early and never looked back scoring at will and never giving in to the panthers running attack ! they are becoming known as a defensive team but the o was very good and balanced in this one and with the next win they may clinch the division title , and that would be an amzing feet for a team that only won 3 game last yr a good worst to 1st story !
