Canadian Sasquatch 23 - New Zealand Zombies 7

The Sasquatch were in complete control as their much maligned defense throttled the high powered Zombie offense for a 23-7 win. Gopher had 2 interceptions and Junior added another as the big guys came within minutes of registering their first shutout.

The ‘Quatch were methodical in taking the opening drive down to the Zombie 15 yard line, where Bunyons’ 32 yard field goal gave them a 3-0 lead. New Zealand could not muster much of anything offensively, as the Bigfoot team held Marcus Allen, the leagues third leading rusher, to a total of 10 yards for the game. A 69 yard TD pass to Grog from Stinkwater made it 10-0 . Gopher’s 1st interception and Muckman’s 67 yard run upped the score to 17-0 at the half.

The team from down under had a brief glimmer of hope when Donnie Shell picked off a Stinkwater pass, giving the Zombies the ball near mid-field, but Junior’s interception gave the ball right back to the Canadians. A pair of Bunyon field goals gave the Sasquatch a commanding 23-0 lead. Their efforts to record their first shutout were thwarted, however; when Dan Fouts hooked up with Billy “Whiteshoes” Johnson on a 43 yard TD pass. Their onsides attempt was recovered by the ‘Quatch who ran out the clock to end the game.

Stinkwater was 3-4-1 with 1 TD and 119 yards. Fouts and Bart Starr combined on 10-21-3 passing for 149 yards and a TD. Charles Mann and Deacon Jones shared top defensive honors with 3 1/2 tackles each for New Zealand. Tank had 4 tackles for the ’Quatch.


Grog (#32) takes a short screen pass from Stinkwater and goes 69 yards for a TD
