4/28/01 Week 4

Duluth (2-2) 52 - Denver (3-1) 46
What a great game!! This game went back and forth the whole way. Denver scored the game tying touchdown with only :16 seconds left on the clock. You had the feeling throughout the whole thing, that the team who had the ball last would win. That proved to be true. Duluth won the coin toss in overtime, then wasted little time in scoring the game winning touchdown. Again the Denver rushing attack, led by superstar HB Chris Barnes, tallied up quite a day. Denver ran for a total of 273 yards at an average of 9.1 yards per carry. Duluth used two things to beat the Demons. Their special teams and their deep passing game. The Moose consistantly returned kicks into Denver territory, then when they needed a big play, they went for the long ball. Duluth hosts Long Beach in a crucial division matchup, while Denver travels to Pullman in a game for first place.

Long Beach (2-2) 34 - Arkham (2-2) 16
The Long Beach triple threat of QB Tony Christian, HB Mike Penn, and WR Paul Trazie are starting to get hot. They are also getting into rhythym. Christian had his best game so far this season by throwing to the ECFL leading reciever Paul Trazie. Mike Penn gives Long Beach the ability to run and catch the ball. Arkham who holds the leagues #1 overall defense was beaten up and down the field all day. Long Beach who has won 2 in a row travels to COLD Duluth, while Arkham travels to Texas in a game for first place in the East.

New Deal (3-1) 41 - Pullman (3-1) 38
New Deal found themselves down 38-27 with just 3:41 left on the clock. The Lions quickly moved down the field and closed the gap 38-34 with 1:34 left on the clock. Still Pullman was in the much better situation, they were up by 4 and getting ready to recieve the kick. The New Deal defense did their job by holding Pullman to 3 and out. The Lions still had the task of getting the ball into the endzone with less than a minute left. New Deal started to drive and got down to the Cougars 38 yard line with :10 seconds left in the game. QB John Ballard took the snap and fired a bomb down the right sideline to WR Earl Henley who had a step on his man. Henley pulled in the pass and crossed the goaline with just :01 second left in the game. New Deal will host Baton Rouge, while Pullman hosts Denver for the first place spot in the West.

Virginia Beach (0-4) 10 - Baton Rouge (2-2) 31
The Virginia Beach passing game is starting to come around nicely, the only problem is their defense and running game has been losing games for them. The Bengals offense did whatever they wanted to vs the Panthers. The Bengals defense also stuffed the running game and sacked Panthers QB Mike Cherry 9 times. The Bengals ran for over 100 hundred yards for the first time all season, and are finally getting confidence in that part of their offense. Virginia Beach hosts Haddonfield in a game between the worst two teams in the league, while Baton Rouge travels to New Deal.

Texas (3-1) 48 - Haddonfield (1-3) 28
Texas scored their lowest point total of the season (48). If that is in fact low. For the second straight week the Haddonfield Pumpkins took the 4th quarter off. Haddonfield has given up 42 points in the 4th quarter of their last 2 games. Texas again was too much QB Brandon Stone and WR Robbie Holmes. No one has been able to stop either player as of yet. Stone now has 24 touchdown passes in just 4 games. The Texas defense has also been moving up the charts, they held the Pumpkins to just 271 total yards and only 34 yards rushing. Looks like "smashing pumpkins week" in Texas was a huge success. Texas will host Arkham, while Haddonfield travels to Virginia Beach in a game to stay out of the basement.

 

4/21/01 Week 3

Denver (3-0) 41 - Haddonfield (1-2) 16
This game featured 2 of the leagues most productive running backs. Haddonfield took the early lead in this one, at one point they were up 10-3. Going into halftime the Demons took a 17-16 edge.
