The highly anticipated start of the new BFAL season brought forth thrilling matchups, including the debut of two new teams – the Woodpeckers and the 8 Balls – along with the introduction of nearly 50 new players.
The opening week showcased a jaw-dropping performance from the undermanned 8 Balls, who dominated the Cherrypickers with an impressive 49-8 victory. Quarterback Dylan Atkinson, an unconventional choice, led the charge, connecting seamlessly with star receiver Ross Conway for 262 yards out of Dylan's impressive 535 passing yards. Chris Kline made history by securing the 8 Balls' first-ever BFAL touchdown, setting the tone for an explosive offensive display. As the 8 Balls face off against the Woodpeckers this week, all eyes are on them to maintain their momentum, while the Cherrypickers look to bounce back against the Titans.
In a nail-biting clash between the Gremlins and the Titans, the Gremlins emerged victorious in a 58-56 shootout. The duel between quarterbacks Rob and Brad saw a record-tying 15 touchdowns and over 1500 yards of offense. Despite missing key players Elijah Fonsenca and Captain Tony Cruz, the Gremlins showcased their offensive prowess with four receivers surpassing the 100-yard mark. The defending champions appear poised for another successful season.
The final game of the week featured the Woodpeckers and the Bullies, highlighted by a standout performance from the one and only Sheriff. Sheriff's remarkable 787-yard, 7-touchdown statline, including a stellar connection with receiver Liam, propelled the Bullies to a 48-38 victory. Although the Woodpeckers mounted an impressive comeback, Josh's three touchdowns and 253 yards secured the win for the Bullies.
