It will be the Crushers v Wheat Eaters for the Championship. A headline writers dream (clashing T-bones, cool v hot jazz, Plains States Showdown, the Duke Ellington Bowl, the Glenn Miller Bowl, and on and on). Send in your favorite, but the official name will remain the Sweet Onion Bowl.
The Crushers had balanced scoring led by M. Ryan's 9 points to defeat the Colassals 40-19. The Wheaties got 15 from Ray Rice to turn back M. Vick's 18 as they held on for a 47-44 victory over the Onion Heads. There was not much suspense in the Crushers win as the Colassals powerful rb tandem of Turner and Foster was shutout for only the second time this season (the other time being week 2) and kept without a td for only the third time (and the first since week 5). In the WE-OH matchup, the Wheaties caught a break with the OH starting Prater who did not kick this week. Still, another Chicago D td on Monday and the game would have slipped away (much like the collapse of the Gmen, but I do not want to talk about that).
I remind the Colassals and the OH that there is a game for third place this week.
In the Hot Poop Bowl, the Gatsbys beat the Maroons 42-27 and the Salmon beat the Whales 27-21.
With a Saturday kickoff, all lineups are due prior to that. Thursday rules apply for the game on the 23rd.
From everyone here at the league offices, a Merry Christmas to all our owners, teams, and fans.
