Week 6 WRap
Two matches on tap this past weekend: one a significant victory and t’other a relative’s kiss, and not necessarily a nice one though full of passion!
By the Numbers:
8 trys in all for Utah, including doubles by: lock Frank Lochore, flyer Mike Manson, and number 2 Nic Souchon en route to 44 - 19 5-point, happiness over winless Anthem at the Zions Bank Stadium; 6 missed conversions for the winners not a great rate, while visitors were 2-from-3;
22 for every manjack in the Maryland Soccerplex at time as Old Glory and Los Angeles fought to a standoff; a 72nd minute grounding by LA’s 9, Niall Saunders enabled travelers to draw level, though the winning conversion went awry
Upcoming the Weekend:
Friday, 4.12:
Dallas Jackals (15) v (13) Utah Warriors, 6:30 MDT at Choctaw Stadium: each need points;
Saturday, 4.13:
Houston SabreCats (23) v (19) N.E. Free Jacks, 6pm MDT at ‘Cats Stadium: MoW-MoW-MoW!
Sunday, 4.14:
San Diego Legion (19) v (15) NOLA Gold, 2pm MDT at Snapdragon: the other MoW;
Chicago Hounds (13) v (2) Anthem RC, 2pm MDT at SeatGeek: could be 5 for homeys; RFC Los Angeles (11) v (24) Seattle Seawolves, 4pm MDT at Dignity Health: 5 for travelers?
Jackals-Warriors outcome may very well be the undoing of the loser as the quest for extra time becomes more real for each Cats and Jacks result will rearrange the top tiers of the divisions, while the consequence of the Gold and Legion score is certain to impact standings as well l look to make a statement v the Anthem, and Wolves are aiming to remain atop the West with a large-margin, happy ending over RFC Los Angeles.
