Bozos Bounce Bees From Playoffs

Battle Creek used it’s 1-2-3 punch of Two Cents, More or Less and 5 ½ to grind out 270 yards of rushing as the Bozos clinched a playoff spot with a decisive 28-23 win. Kerry Kingbee had one of his best days, throwing 10-16-0 for 171 yards and 3 touchdowns, but it went for naught as Kalamazoo couldn’t overcome it’s own costly mistakes. The Bees were penalized 5 times for 40 yards, one costing them a touchdown, and another enabling the Bozos to keep a drive alive leading to a score. 5 ½ got the clowns on the scoreboard first with a 43 yard TD run. Steve Swarm made it 7 all with a 10 yard TD catch. A 5 yard hands to the face call negated what would have been a 4th down, and Pi quickly took advantage of it with a 54 yard TD strike to Pisces to give the Bozos a 14-7 lead at the half.

Battle Creek took the second half kick and drove 64 yards in 6 plays, resulting in a 41 yard TD run by 2 Cents and a 21-7 lead. Jason Stinger hauled in a 15 yard Kingbee pass to make it 21-13, as the extra point attempt hit the crossbar. On the clowns next possession, More or Less found a large hole in the middle of the Killer Bee defense and went 74 yards and a 28-13 lead. Peter Pollen took another Kingbee pass in for a TD and closed the gap to 28-20. The Bees then held the Bozos and blocked the punt, giving them excellent field position at the Bozos 24 yard line. An illegal shift penalty negated what could have been a game tying touchdown, and the Bees had to settle for a field goal instead. The Bozos then went on a clock eating, 11 play drive that ended with Larry Larvae intercepting a Pi pass at the Bee’s 18. With only enough time remaining for a couple of plays, the Bees could only get to their 31 before the game ended.

Pollen ended up with 60 yards rushing and 27 reception yards for Kalamazoo. Pi struggled on the day, completing only4-11-1 for 117 yards and a TD. Mudd Dauber had 5 ½ tackles and a sack for the Bees, while FM had 3 tackles and a sack for Battle Creek.
