The early game between Mimosas and Sky Bison was close at half, as both teams continued to build chemistry and worked hard on defense. The Sky Bison were able to fly away with the game late, as newcomer Joey scored six of the Bison's points. The final was 15-9 White over Orange. Yip, yip!

Black Pepper has been stuck in the grinder lately, after starting the season 3-0. Tonight there were only two peppercorns at the field in time for the game. Though four more eventually arrived, the game was already a forfeit to Purple Rain, who had 14 players ready to play. The teams played a fun game of pickup and included some additional players from the early game. With the loss, Pepper have dropped three straight to land at 3-3, while Purple Rain remain atop the standings at 5-1.

In the nightcap, Ice Ice Babies had a trickle of latecomers but made up for it with an avalanche of points. Nina and Mufasa seemed to own the end zones for their respective teams, scoring the majority of points. Best Fronds had Jasper and Billy giving their full efforts on D, with some Miracle Gro throws on O from Jordan and Kevin. Lily was blooming as both a handler and a cutter! Blue team saw the return of their deep game in the form of hucks and hammers (some good, some not so good). We saw some captain-on-captain action tonight with Tom narrowly getting a D on a beauty of a throw to Mufasa, but Kate got revenge later by scoring while being covered by Tom. Overall, great efforts from both teams as Ice Ice Babies melted the Fronds’ hearts, 15-8. With the win, Babies are tied for first with Purple Rain, but Purple Rain currently holds the tie break, beating the Babies head to head in their only match-up so far this season.

The summer jerseys have arrived! I will bring them to Monday's games for captains to distribute.
