Crystal Bowl 53 | Bristol Bulldogs vs Hallas Stars | Sunday 5th March 2023
This year’s Crystal Bowl could be the second time lucky for Hallas, losers of last year’s finale to the 96ers.
In their way are the 15-3 Bristol Bulldogs. The Dogs had the best record and looked the strongest and most balanced team throughout the campaign. Their Offence is run by QB Brad Robinson, who has come a little out of his shell these past two years and is considered more than a game manager. Receivers Edgerious Jones and Dennis Morales are quick and deadly threats, whilst Running Backs Lamar Hall and Angelo Elliot are a perfect match in the backfield.
The Stars have Chase Hand at the helm with great targets , veteran Amani Sanders, Kobe Snider, Kevin Grandmont and super-veteran Anchor (TE) Bob Lloyd. They added youth to the running game with Antonio Smith. Defensively, the Stars have a good front seven and superstar secondary. The Bulldogs are no slouches defensively either.
As with most of these games, the cliche of it being won in the trenches between the lines seems very relevant.
We’re looking forward to seeing the two teams collide on Sunday 5th.

The Caligara Bulldogs required two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter from QB Zack Slater to come from behind to gian redemption from last year’s title game loss.
Slater had an uncomfortable first half, completing only six of thirteen passes. RB Jeremy Franklin had gained nearly 100 yards to keep the Bulldogs competitive.
The Wasps had a good performance from Trent Harris at the helm, gaining 274 yards through the air and three touchdowns. Harris overcame a second quarter interception, to lead the team to 10-9, 17-12 and 24-19 leads. His second interception effectively ended the game with 00:54 remaining.
Going into the fourth quarter, trailing 17-12, the Bulldogs regained the lead on an 8 yard pass from Slater to Morales. The lead didn’t last long, as Harris drove the Wasps downfield through the air, completing the drive with a 12 yarder to Shyrone Rogers.
The Bulldogs, with six minutes remaining needed another drive. Franklin gained two quick first downs on draw plays. Slater then found his namesake Seth on 9 and 11 yard gains. The Wasps were in their prevent defence and it was seeping gains (Ken Anderson limped off and Stephen Schmidt was playing hurt.
With 3:47 left on the clock, Zack found Seth- the Slater-to-Slater combination once more on a quick bubble screen. Seth evaded Schmidt and ran the remaining 36 yards for the score. The Bulldogs led by one point, so they attempted a two point conversion. Slater to Martinez didn’t work this time, so it remained a one point lead.
The Wasps final drive, needing just a field goal to win, ended when Kyle Neal intercepted a pass intended for Blackmon.
In just his second year as a Head Coach, Jon Palmer has topped the Mountain, an incredible achievement.

NJ – Gold FG 25; 28-41
The Rochester Trojans turned the ball over five times in a slightly one-sided second half performance at the Cherry Bowl stadium. QV Ryan Bruce threw four interceptions- all to POTG WB Edgar Jammer, one returned for a pick six.
The ‘Sixers started off at breakneck speed, being 14-0 after two Kurt Sierra touchdown tosses; to Johnson and Brown. The Trojans first three possessions ended with three and outs and an interception. They started off running away from DE Vin Marshall and his pass rushing prowess. They were playing in to the New Jorg Defence’s hand- who dared them to throw the other side to – Jammer.
Following Frank Bowman’s fumble, the Trojans got one back with a Ray Shell catch and run for sixteen yards. The Trojans then gave up the pick six, before rallying with a Shell running TD and Ryan Bruce’s pass to Philips. It was tied at 21 at the half.
After the halftime show featuring Ellie Winters and Monstersauce, the game restarted with defences on top. Vin Marshall and the ‘Sixers front seven locked down the Trojans.
It took a defensive play to open the game back up, and it happened following Ray Shell’s fumble. The ball popped up into the hands of Defensive End Marco McKeown, who returned it 89 yards for the score.
Kurt Sierra then topped the day off with a second scoring pass to Asante Brown. The Trojans pulled one back when Philips broke through for a 60 yard score.
The New Jorg 96ers were crowned the champions of the PFL for the third time. With that defence, how many more can they get?
Rochester Trojans vs New Jorg 96ers| Sunday March 4th 2018.
The big game is almost upon us, here are the key matchups:
QB Ryan Bruce vs ‘Sixers Defence
Ruan Bruce has been calm and composed as he led the number 7 seed past number one and two seeds away from home. He has not faced a defence like this before. Rookie DE Vin Marshall has broken pass rushing records and been a revolution to this defence. ‘Can Bruce buy enough time to get the passes off?’ will be key question we look to on Sunday. WR Jason Galant is listed as probable for the game, after limping out of the semi-final.
QB Kurt Sierra & Asante Brown vs Trojans Defence
Kurt Sierra has been a master of the aerial arts throughout his career, but has he played this mystery scheme of the Trojans. Coordinator Ian Rudolph has dreamed up some creative systems to confuse both the Wasps’ and Stars’ attacks. If Sierra and co can figure it out, they will be hard to beat. Asante ‘Downtown’ Brown is perhaps the best openfield receiver.
Trojans Run Game
The Rochester run game has depth, both Ray Shell and DeAngelo Jenkins gained 1,000 yards, as they marched through the defences as the top running tandem. You don’t get a down off where you can be facing a top runner. The 96ers will need to rotate their line to keep fresh if the Trojan ground game gets going.
So how will it all play out next Sunday? Who are you picking?
MAROONS vs SCARLETS | NUSA National Championship
Champions Bowl | Sat. January 6th 2018 | USN | 8pm ECT
The grand final of the NUSA University Football season in Eboria ends tonight with the Champions Bowl!
The Number one and number two ranked Universities in Eboria will meet as the #1 Ohara University Scarlets go up against the #2 Univeristy of Olaskas Maroons. The tournament provided little shocks this year, as the seedings proved mostly accurate.
Both teams play strong defences and have good mobile quarterback play. Olaskas junior QB Brad Carson is agile and accurate, Ohara’s sophmore sensation is Tayvon Coles, who is a scrambler with a big arm. Both teams have good blocking Forwards and 2-3 good backs too, so establishing the ground game could be key.

UFB | Champions Bowl Series Semi-Finals
The top two seeds, the Scarlets and the Crimson Glory have navigated through the Champions Bowl Series (CBS) to book their places in the Champions Bowl on 6th January 2018.
Ohara beat the Granada Bulldogs 41-35 in a high-scoring affair, a good action-packed shootout at Scarlet Stadium. It came down to who had the ball last.
Olaskas had a slightly easier time of it against the BSU Bosshogs, winning 27-14 and seemingly taking the fourth quarter off.
The number one ranked team No.1 against the no.2 team. This should be one heck of a contest!
The Season isn’t over for Granada and BSU though, as they now have New Years Classic Bowl games to play in, along with other top ranked teams, like Eregonia and O’Connell.
