What’s interesting about this twin bill is that it gives a glimpse of the match-ups that will take place at the League’s trophy finale on April 27. Call it a preview of greatness to come.
For the opener that teams battling for a third place finish later this month, the M-80s executed at extremely high levels in mid-March and posted an impressive 216-143 victory over the Smashinistas. Not only did the duke provide the team with their first win of the season but it also gave the squad renewed enthusiasm.
Jammers L’Oakey Dokie, Owl Wing It! and Camp Kwitcherbitchin’ is set to pace the scoring in front of a blocking battalion consisting of dad bod, Scouts Horror, Special Brownies, Pecan Misandry, Slam Shakusky, Crumbledore, Curl Scout, Wood Bang, Merit Badger, S’more Cowbell and Trampfire.
