Flaming Fairies 42 - Mennonites 41

Tommy Cruise was nearly perfect, completing 9-10-0 for 248 yards and 3 touchdowns while Johnny Holmes ran for 152 yards and 3 touchdowns as San Francisco edged the Mennonites, 42-41. The win, combined with the Killer Bees loss to the Sasquatch, earned the Fairies the final spot for the playoffs.

The first half was all defense, resulting in a 7-7 tie at halftime. The second half was all offense, in a back and forth battle that went to the final play, where the Mennonites decided to go for the two point conversion and the win, rather than settling for a tie. The Fairies were not to be denied, as they stopped the Amish twice, as there was a penalty on the first attempt that gave the Mennonites a second chance.

Speedy Ezekiel ran for 102 yards and Luthar Lamp had 103 yards and 2 touchdowns for the Mennonites. The Fairy defense was led by Barney Frank who had a career best 7 tackles while the MFCA’s own Weirdwolf Schmidt had 5 for the Mennonites from his safety position.
