“The opening kickoff landed out of bounds and the ghoul, Al Wiz, started with it and moved up the flank. A werewolf blitzed a skink sending him off to the KO box. However, they left a massive hole in their defense and 3 skinks scampered through (no dodge needed) to provide assists for the Sauras 3d blitz on the ghoul...both the Sauras and ghoul hit the ground and the ball was free. The Weird Als have to reverse course and charge after the ball, but are limited by our superior local numbers. However, 2 zombies dodge successfully to help them and they send off another skink to the KO box - but we recover the bouncing ball. A few dodges and we would have the critical defensive score - but the skink fails the dodge and the ball is free as he also goes to the KO box. At this point only 1 skink remained on the field and 1 Sauras was already serious injuried. Out of players, the Weird Als scored for the 1-0 halftime lead.

Second half, a very deep kick and another BH against a sauras put the Reptiles in dire straights. Another KO on a sauras and it was 3 skinks and 3 sauras remaining on the field - the sauras all stunned or surrounded, the 3 skinks carried the ball down the flank - a blitz knocked it free however, and all the gfis worked so the Weird Als had 2 players marking the ball. Things looked grim until Aidan Slinker showed some moxy - picking up the ball in both tackle zones (used RR) and making the dodges and gfi for the 1-1 score.

Perfect defense allows our meager forces to line up well against the undead monsters - but it was down to the skinks again. More zombie dodging and more POWs from the werewolf and zombie...yet...the damage was minimal - skinks were knocked down, but not even stunned this time. As the Weird Als charged upfield, they once again left their ballcarring ghoul all alone. Two skinks marked him, although we could not do much more with our depleted numbers. Instead of blitzing to free their ballcarrier, the Weird Al coach relied on the Ghoul to dodge free - as no one came back to help...when the ghoul failed the dodge - suddenly the ball was all alone next to our 2 skinks and all the Weird Al players were too far downfield to help. The last 2 turns were just icing on the cake then. Aidan picked up the ball again and moved into scoring position, Anita Whip (another skink) blitzed the werewolf (would have been able to mark our ballcarrier with dodge and 2 gfi) and the blitz actually resulted in a BH. On the Weird Als last turn, they blitzed a skink and then 1d blocked with a zombie - for a skull and our only other CAS of the game. Aidan watched in amazement at how quickly fortunes can turn and scampered in for the 2-1 victory and the richly derserved MVP award as well.”
