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 !
