Bears Defeat Predators and Earn Playoff Spot

The Cache Valley Bears are still alive and can still defend their Rocky Mountain Football League AAA Championship. With a win by the Bears over the Predators, 12-9, tonight and a loss by the Rockets, the Bears take the second automatic spot in the playoffs from the Central Division. The Bears will face the Revolution next weekend for a rematch of last week’s game. A game that saw the Revolution walk away with a 39 to 6 victory.

The Bears used an interesting lineup against the Predators and still held on for the victory. The game saw many Bears players in the quarterback position and no one could tell if the Bears were on offense or defense based on the players on the field. Norvel Young found the Predator’s QBs more willing to throw him the ball than the Bear’s own QBs, so he played defense and recorded two interceptions and ran one back for a touchdown.

Another weekend is fast approaching and I still haven’t decided which teams I will be covering. My two real options are here in the valley, so travel isn’t an issue this time. I either go to Sky View High School or Romney Stadium. There is a possibility of doing both, just figuring out how much of each game to cover.

The Bears will be hosting the Predators for a very important game for each team making the AAA playoffs. The Bears must win the game and the Predators, although they do have a mathematical chance by losing, really need to win in order for the teams to move on to the playoffs. It is a critical game for both teams and they should both play their best games possible to avoid missing the playoffs. I am thinking the first half of this game will let me know if staying for the end is necessary. I can probably stay for the first hour and then decide if I move over to the other game. It will be a difficult decision when to leave unless it is a blowout.


RMFL AAA Playoff Possibilities and Predictions

With the last week of the season upon us, I decided to write an article about the playoff possibilities for the AAA teams in the Rocky Mountain Football League (RMFL). It has been an interesting season and I am sure the last week will be the same. I must admit that I am no expert on the by-laws, constitution, and rules of the RMFL; but I am going to give it my best effort. I will break it down by division automatic positions and then take on the wild-card possibilities.

There are eight teams that will make the playoffs with seven being automatic spots and one wild-card spot. The North Division receives three spots for the top three teams and the Central and South Divisions get automatic spots for their top two teams. The remaining spot goes to a wild-card team. I will then go all out and predict the AAA champions. I will start with the AAA North Division.

May 16th Possibilities

This next Saturday poses some interesting decisions for me regarding the Rocky Mountain Football League. Normally I would be covering the Cache Valley Bears team, but they will be three hours away in Idaho. That is a long drive and would take me away from home for the entire day. If I do make the trip, there are two games right off the freeway on the way home that I can catch to make it a double-header with no additional gas expense. So what do I do?

I could go to the Bears game in Rexburg against the Madison Lionz and on the way home catch the Davis Cowboys and Idaho Mustangs game in Idaho Falls or I could catch the Ogden Rockets and Pocatello Predators. The Ogden Rockets playing the Pocatello Predators looks more promising as the time lines up better and would still allow me to get home at a reasonable hour Saturday night. I seem to be leaning towards that game as the most possible second game of the day if I do attend the Bears game.
