“NWFL Mini-Tourney Round 3

Tough mirror match game that is decided late in OT

1st half starts with a riot, shortening the half by a turn. N'Varlinz receives the ball and marches slowly but surely up the pitch. The Raider's Campbell fails a GFI when an opening comes up against their Ball Carrier and this opens up a huge hole for the Masquerade to exploit and score on int turn 7. The Raiders cannot score before the half (though we were just one 4+ catch from doing so) and it's 1-0 in favor of N'Varlinz Masquarde at halftime.

2nd half The Raiders are eventually finally able to score, though they do it quickly in 3 turns, trusting in their defense to either hold or get the ball back quickly. A deep kick helps the defense to hold out, giving Zhar Naggarund the time to get to the ball carrier and knock the ball out of bounds. This sends the game into OT.

OT both teams are down to 8 players on the pitch and the Masquarade receives the ball. Another deep kick again gives the Raiders time to put pressure on the BC and eventually pry it free. Campbell is able to use break tackle effectively and then Sure Hands to get the ball..then Break tackle again to get away from most of the N'Varlinz players. In fact, only Mrak, their Agility 4, MA 5 Bull can get to him, and with no RR's left the block is a skull, leaving Campbell free to score on turn 7 of OT for the win!
