LOMBARDI CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

Erie 27, Woodbridge 10 ERIE PENNSYLVANIA   Divisional rivals Erie and Woodbridge met tonight in Erie with the Lombardi Conference Championship on the line. The two teams split their regular season meetings in two tightly contested affairs.        Erie won the toss and elected to kick. The Silence defense did just that on the first possession, as Rivers threw three incompletions and a punt followed. The joy inside Erie Veterans Stadium quickly subsided however, as fan (and owner) favorite Tyrod Taylor was injured early in the drive. Backup Brian Hoyer quickly put on his big boy pants and trudged through the snow towards the huddle. Hoyer and the Silence ended up with a fourteen play drive that culminated in a three yard touchdown pass to LeSean McCoy.         Woodbridge wasted no time in replying. Howard hit an end run wrong long gain, followed a couple plays later by a long pass right 7 for Rivers (long gain). Bing bang boom, tie score at 7 about ten minutes into the ballgame. Silence's LeSean McCoy continues his comeback season with 3 TDs        Hoyer continued to be somewhat effective as Erie again marched. The drive was stopped in makeable FG range. Gould came out to try the 2-10 FG. The Erie snow proved to be too much, as Gould was not golden, and the score remained 7-7.         Rivers was pretty on point in in the Barons' drive. Twice he converted third and longs, including one with a correct free safety double team in effect. He also avoided a couple INT checks. Finally the drive was snuffed out, and Woodbridge had to punt. hoyer and Erie couldn't put much together other than a McCoy YAC for 20+ yards, and Erie returned the favor by punting.        The ensuing Woodbridge drive ran in to troubles when a solid +12 run was turned into a -10 hold. Rivers again dodged a 50/50 INT try, and the Barons punted. But, the Barons D was up to the task again as not even a luck hoyer double-teamed completion could amount to points.          After a touchback, Woodbridge drove into Erie territory. Facing a fourth and eight just outside FG range the Barons elected to roll the dice and go for it. They caught the Erie LB's double-teaming, and the vacated flat pass throw earned them a first down. A few plays later though, the nice move by Dave was taken off the table as Rivers fumbled the snap and Cameron Wake picked up the loose ball. Some Hoyer kneels and the half ended at a seven seven stalemate.        Like Willis Reed in 1970, Tyrod Taylor emerged from the locker room at halftime to rally the lads. Unlike Reed however, things got off to a lousy start, as Tyrod found the 1/1000 fumble for the second game in a row and lost the ball. Woodbridge took advantage and connected for a FG, but did lose Kearse in the process. 10-7 Woodbridge. Erie mounted a long drive, only to be stopped inside the ten and kick a short FG to tie the game.        Back to back three and outs followed. The tide then began to turn the way of the Silence. A GPI INT by Erie's 2018 defensive MVP Harrison Smith gave the ball back to Tyrod and company. There wasn't much of a drive to follow, but Gould atoned for his earlier gaffe by knocking in a 2-6, 12 FG to make the game 13-10 Erie near the end of the third quarter.       A solid SS containment enabled Erie to get a stop to start the quarter. Erie couldn't mount a big drive, as a sack on a look-in and miss on flat wrong to Stills stopped any hopes. Woodbridge was also stymied, but a +59 net punt was downed at the Erie three.        Needing to get out of the shadow of their goal posts, Erie started slowly. Another drop by Stills left Erie third and long at their five yard line. Tyrod stayed cool and hit Stills for a +11 and a first down. McCoy took an end run for 20+ yards. A couple must runs for T-Mobile netted solid yards. Erie managed to stay in third and manageable and convert. When the dust had cleared, McCoy took an end run D cards 8 with no LB backing up the play and scampered 17 yards for the touchdown.      With Woodbridge in desperation mode, the Erie secondary came up strong. A turnover on downs resulted. Going to 1930's football (3 RB, 2 TE), Erie hit some blocking ratings and cloud-of-dusted the ball into the end zone as McCoy scored his third of the game. Final score 27-10 Erie. Erie goes to their 2nd Tradition Bowl in their three years in the league...hoping to give Tyrod a chance at the prize before he unfortunately becomes a non-factor next year thanks to the Browns being jagoffs :) With no QB for next year, the Silence may be in some trouble (though it'll be nice having Erie native James Conner in the backfield!).

LANDRY CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

Sin City 32, Oakville 25 OAKVILLE, INDIANA Sin City outlasted Oakville 32-25 to win the Landry Conference Championship and advances to the TFL Bowl.  The first and third quarters belonged to Sin City, while the 2nd and 4th favored Oakville, but Sin City was the better club this day. Congrats to Mark on a great win – he coached an outstanding game, mixing it up on offense and sniffing out plays on defense.  Right from the start, he made a big call by switching Jalen Ramsey over to RCB to negate Adam Thielen’s presence at split end and had numerous correct double-team calls throughout the game.  Likewise, he hit some big plays on offense when I was cheating up for the run, and pounded the ball on the ground when I was protecting against the big play.  He earned the win and will represent the Landry Conference well in the TFL Bowl. The first half was fairly low-scoring, although both teams had their opportunities.  Oakville was fortunate to be close, as their first three drives went punt, punt, interception, while Sin City scored on their first three drives.  However two of the three Sin City drives stalled and they had to settle for field goals, and after scoring a TD, Cody Parkey missed the PAT, so the Sin City lead was 12-0 early in the second quarter.  Oakville finally put together a scoring drive, capped off when Albert Wilson scored from 14 yards out on a dumpoff pass to cut the lead to 12-7 with 11:24 remaining in the half. The teams quickly traded possessions back and forth seven times with only one possession lasting longer than 1:48.  Oakville got the ball back with 1:37 left, and it briefly looked like they took the lead when Russell Wilson connected with Tyreek Hill for a 29 yard TD pass.  However, there was a flag on the play to erase the TD.  Oakville ended up kicking a FG to make the score 12-10 at the half. It looked like Sin City was going to put the game away in the second half however, as they took the kickoff and marched 75 yards for a TD to stretch their lead to 19-10.  Bilal Powell punched it in on a 4th and 1 that Oakville had guessed right, but couldn’t stop Powell from scoring.  After stopping Oakville on the Hoosiers first drive, Sin City returned the punt 60 yards to start their drive from the Oakville 27.  On the first play of the drive, they covered the remaining 27 yards for another TD.  Parkey again missed the PAT, but the score was now 25-10 Sin City.  On the 3rd play of their next drive, Russell Wilson was again intercepted and Sin City marched down the field.   Oakville was desperate to stay alive,  but Alex Smith snuck in from the 1 yard line and extended the lead to 32-10 with 5:24 remaining in the 3rd quarter. At this point Oakville was just hoping to avoid getting embarrassed, and they drove 70 yards on 12 plays, but turned the ball over on downs at the Sin City 10 yard line.  Oakville picked off a pass on Sin City’s next drive and then went 66 yards on their drive with Javorious Allen scoring on a 2-yard run, and then Russell Wilson scoring the 2-point conversion on a “must run” after the short pass attempt went awry, cutting the lead to 32-18 with 10:12 remaining Sin City took over with great field position after Oakville’s onside kick attempt failed, but didn’t take advantage and punted back to Oakville.  It looked like Oakville was finished as they faced a 4th and 27 from their own 19 yard line, but somehow managed to connect on a 29 yard pass to keep the drive alive.  The Hoosiers ended up continuing the drive and Delanie Walker caught an 11 yard TD pass to cut the lead to 32-25.  Oakville kicked away and managed to get a 3-and-out, taking over at their own 17 with 2:06 remaining.  One problem Oakville faced was that both Paul Richardson and Albert Wilson had reached their quota of catches for the day, taking away a couple of their additional deep threats.  Oakville put together a respectable drive and got within striking distance, to the Sin City 28 yard line, but time was not on their side and a desperation pass fell incomplete with 1 second left on the clock, giving Sin City the exciting 32-25 win. Robert Woods was the offensive hero for Sin City with 7 catches for 169 yards and a TD, while Russell Wilson had a nice 69 attempt day for 388 yards, but had two costly interceptions.  Sin City’s defense came up big when they needed to, with four sacks to go along with the two picks. Game Story Robert Woods had a great game as the visitors from Sin City beat Oakville by the score of 32 to 25. Woods burned the Oakville defense with 7 catches for 169 receiving yards and added a touchdown. The biggest play of the game was a pass to Robert Woods that gained 56 yards with 14:24 left in the 3rd quarter. Sin City had a good start outscoring Oakville 9 to 0 in the first quarter. They led at halftime 12 to 10. Russell Wilson threw 69 times for 388 yards and 2 touchdowns for Oakville, but his effort went to waste.
