Soul Silver 1 - 2 WYLA
Fresh off the back of a win in the most brutal game of a truly brutal week, WYLA entered this match looking to repeat the slaughter. Soul Silver's sauruses lined up bravely, practically dripping ferocity, but one could see the skinks shaking from the stands. As the ref blew the starting whistle, the entire crowd visibly leaned forward, anticipating spilled blood and broken bones.
They were not disappointed.
Soul Silver proved to be a well-oiled and very practiced machine, executing a split-second blitz that caught the undead team flat-footed. Before the opening kickoff had even touched the ground, lizard enforcer Swampert flattened WYLA's Rigor Hades and sent him off to the sidelines. Unfortunately, Hades was followed closely by a stretcher carrying the tiny but ruthless--and unconscious--murderer Ekans, who managed to trip himself over the foot of a stunned and stationary Rigor the Barber. The kick fell into the hands of star skink Squirtle (currently in the running for the league's leading scorer position) but he managed to fumble the catch and nearly gave WYLA the chance to recover from the blitz. His fast recovery and even faster feet sealed the point before the opening seconds could even tick off the clock.
Unfortunately, things turned around quite quickly. At the beginning of the next drive, the skink Snivy died during a routine dodge attempt, presaging a game marked by setback after setback for the scalier squad. The undead team's ghouls were the stars of the rest of the game, scoring in the final moments of the first half to tie it up and making almost all of the important blitzes and blocks in the interim. Corpseripper and Carnivorestalker racked up an impressive 70 running yards while injuring Squirtle and spitefully stomping on a downed Blastoise (to no effect), while the rest of the team systematically dismantled any hope of a Soul Silver comeback by mangling any skink they could catch. Wight Thorgrim the Cruel crushed Totadile to steal the ball and score a point at the closing buzzer after surviving a series of increasingly brave and desperate skink blitzes, racking up a second win in as many weeks for WYLA.
Can WYLA maintain their undefeated streak? Can Soul Silver recover from this savage misstep and make the playoffs? It doesn't matter because obviously the Tromaville Terribads are going to win the league, says this unbiased reporter!
