Week 1 results

WWSOFFL:

Weeks 1: Usually the first week of the season sees high scoring games as teams unwrap their offenses and good weather allows the passing games to be employed unimpeded. Not this year as we had only one team over 40 points and only two others over 30. The Maroons had a successful debut in a 21-19 win over the Salmon. I am sure Ben “Common Sense” Lenhart has already sent his congratulations. The Onion Heads got 11 points on Monday night from M. Prater to edge the Thumbs 36-34. Mr Detman, done in by the Broncos kicker. Ouch. The Muiracles rolled like it was 2007 with 12 points from D. Brees in a 25-18 win over the Wheaties. Charlie, the defending champ, looked like he is serious about a repeat with a big 45-25 victory over the Ducks. M. Turner led the way with 17 points. The Grapes beat the Colassals 24-17. The Whales won in a tiebreaker over the Gatsbys, 22-19 (23-23).

Moves: A lot of changes in the first week as is the norm. Colassals picked up Rudi Johnson for Porter, K. Boss for Sheffler, and J. Kitna for Burleson. Charlie got his kicker, picking up Rackers for A. Hall. The Grapes picked up D. Rosario for Meachem. The Ducks added another kicker, R. Birones for K. Faulk. The Salmon won the race to M. Cassel dropping D. Sproules. The Whales did the Morris shuffle, adding Sammy for Maurice. The Wheat Eaters like E. Royal more than M. Bulger.

THE DESALES IRISH lost their opener to LaSalle 32-22. It was a rough first game as the Irish made too many mistakes (11 penalties to 0, three blown covers for two tds and a 50 yard gain). They open league play this Friday in Dayton.
