-The Streak Ends!

This was the most unceremonious ending of the longest regular season win streak. Everyone pretty much knew the Reapers were going to rock it, especially because of the desperation that had sunk in from flubbing week 1's game. Jason was on it. he caught Salem not once but twice. Take that MVP king, maybe this was a passing of torch of sorts? We'll have to wait and see. But yea, after those catches, the Interceptors' back was broken and the OKC crowd went berserk. Have the Reapers finally convinced the nation they are the class of the Midwest? Or maybe we will find out when they face #2 2-0 Scarlet Ember in a week 1 rematch next week in their home dojo.

Looks like someone forgot to tell the Dragonfish that their 7 season playoff run was on the line. weak play from everyone but Paolo doomed this team before they could even say 'dodge'. Cat's were on and popping just like last week, but this time they finished swiftly. Ausonio went from zero to hero earning the MVP.

So why would there be any surprise with the #1 team in the land fending off a shabby SB team at home? Because it is the hard to believe in Pharoahs. Charlie had another great game. He really is giving immediate returns to PHA. They finally got a draft pick right. Lyons and Charlie took care of the 1st set, but SB had rookie Carter and Sanchito handle business in the 2nd. But it was an entire team effort from the home team in the 3rd that brings them to 2-0. Silverbacks need to infuse Kenneth, they are dying without 'the leagues best kept secret'.

Toros! Wake up! The Toros have fallen (very unexpectedly) into the 0-2 hole. Missed throws all around, Rayquan nowhere to be found, they learned nothing from week 1. Now, the Skylarks played solid, but this was more of a Toros loss. Toros fans are already pointing toward the Frenchman Williame for his notorious infectious 'get money' attitude. The Toros look completely uninspired, tired of success, trying to see what it is like on the fringes. Have fun there. The Skylarks on the other hand have been consistently quality, the only team to have no sets against them thus far. Watch them, they have the quiet confidence of a scary good team.

The biggest surprise outcome came out of the California Series. The Gold rolled all over the Diamonds in their own gym. The team that was supposed to challenge the Interceptors reign looked like nobody's. Peletierre set it off in the first set with a swift catch of Sean the Diamond. The Gold played very mean overall. They were just more ready, it was cat and mouse all game with the Gold leading the point tally's on both sets.

A snore fest for the most part. The Empire came out sluggish and Donte rose to the occasion after a year off pretty much. Too bad him and Casey can't perform together. The Gremlins understudys also put in solid work.

McFadden balled out over seas. The Seadogs kept targeting the rookie, but he was prepared. James had a glimmer of hope with a nice catch in the 1st set, but he messed up the throw. He is really on the down slope possible scandal? The rag tag team of rookies on the Seadogs couldn't pull anything together as the Dizzy Devils, without Russell's supervision, looked okay and saved their season for now.
Flex Game of the Week 2
A pretty sleepy game for the Margays, Pasquel was underwhelming after creating such a media buzz from the 1st week and before that the preseason tourney. The Margays game plan kept targeting Sven of all people, but the throws were weak, and Sven had a stellar game. Irwin had many many chances in the 2nd set to prove he was equally a rookie force of nature as Pasquel. Bad thorw after bad throw, dodge after dodge, he couldn't put his team into a 3rd set. The Scandinavian Ember roll to 2-0.
