Another thriller chapter in the short BFL history was recorded as the two teams struggled to a 14-14 tie,
the unprecedented second of the season. Behind the sloppy play of the offenses, Notes running backs Phil Beig and Brian Bostwick
each managed to score off pass and runs, respecively. Down 14-0, the Titans's offense finally found enough life for Quarterback Max
Gillman hit wide reciever Greg Cole on a 75 yard and a 41 yard touchdown pass to knot the game at 14 all. The Notes quarterback
Sean Donaghy was sacked on fourth down by Sam Kountz and Andrew Mushnick to perserve the tie for the two teams, after Mushnicks
fumble for a touchdown was reversed by unanimous ruling.
The teams will be resting up, as next week is the BFL bye week. The next game will be held on November 3rd
or 4th.

In the third league match of the season, the Teen Titans collected a BFL-record 9 turnovers (7 interceptions,
2 fumbles) en route to a convincing 49-28 victory that knotted up the league standings. Both teams now stand at 1 win, 1 loss,
and 1 tie. The Titans were outstanding on defense, with DB Andrew Mushnick collecting 3 interceptions and OLB Max Gillman
also picking off 3 passes. The Titans defense also registered 4 sacks, and DT Sam Kountz tipped a pass to himself for an interception
and chugged 40 yards for a touchdown. Offensively, the Titans were led by QB Max Gillman, who was 13-16 for 200+
yards and 4 touchdowns with 1 interception. WR Matt Helm had 65 yards on 2 catches, both for TDs. Ryan Donaghy and WR Andrew
Mushnick also added TD catches for the Titans. Sam Kountz also played quarterback for one drive and tossed a 49-yarder to
RB Andrew Hollinger.
The Dropped Notes, although losing the game, played a great hard hitting game despite being down early.
Down 21-0 in the 'second' quarter, a 41 yard interception return by Sean Donaghy aka "Shuanagy", and a 35 yard offensive fumble
return by OLB Matt Block pulled the Notes within one TD. Donaghy added another rushing score to pull the Notes within a touchdown
again, after the Titans were up 28-14. Notes star RB Phil Beig was held to 60 yards on the ground and no touchdowns,
but the Junior phenom supplimented his fantasy value nicely when he heaved a perfectly thrown ball to Ben Holloway in the
end zone for a Notes touchdown on the game's final drive. On defense, the Notes had nice proformances from Beig and DE Brian
Bostwick, who each recorded 2 sacks and a forced fumble. Shaunagy recorded an interception (as stated before), Matt Block
had 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery, and Perry Xu had 1 sack.
The Notes look to rebound on Friday the 20th's game. BOTH teams will be holding practice at 3:00 sharp to
discuss selected matters. Kickoff is at 5 PM.

A game of epic proportions lived up to the hype on Friday, when the BFL continued its season of suprises
on a wet and muddy October 6th afternoon. Playing to the final 'gun,' the Teen Titans tied the Dropped Notes 28-28 after an
intense 2 possession overtime in which no winner was decided. The Titans were led by junior running back Andrew Hollinger,
who tallied 171 yards on 11 attempts and two touchdowns, including an 79-yard slasher that tied the game at its final score.
Quarterback Max Gillman was 10-for-16 passing with 128 yards through the air and one touchdown with no interceptions. He also
chalked a key interception. The Titans also had great games from Matt Bracciantte (4 catches, 1 interception) and Cyrus Kapadia
(2 TDs, 1 rushing 1 recieving.)
Not to be outdone, the Dropped Notes also had many excellent individual performances, highlighted by Brian
Bostwick's 3 touchdowns (1 rushing, 2 recieving). Bostwick showed the knack for the big play with his 58 yard TD romp
and his spectacular double coverage grab of a Sean Donaghy pass for a touchdown and an early Note's lead. Matt Block, who
turned in another fine day as the Notes lead signal caller, also added another rushing TD late in the game. Phil
Bieg offered 46 yards rushing and great field positions for his team with his kickoff returns. Check out the stats page to
see a box score of this game to see how it played out.
The Dropped Notes stay undefeated with a record of 1-0-1
The Teen Titans hope to grab their first seasonal win with a current record of 0-1-1

The first ever BFL game was played. In a preseason scrimmage that contained a light informative session before the game,
the teams participated in a hard hitting game that played highlight to a vareitiy of defensive play when both of the offenses
sputtered early in the game. Fumble recoveries by both teams led to scores, but the Teen Titans broke the deadlock with a
Ryan Donaghy run to put the Titans ahead 14-7. They never looked back, putting the Dropped Notes into a large fourth quarter
hole with a barrage of touchdowns. However, the 42-23 Teens Titans margin of victory was not as lopsided as it seems: A great
team effort and some excellent individual performances by both the Notes' offense and defense led to piles of yardage totaling
nearly 550 (calculated in field size ratios) total yards. The Titans and the Notes used many big plays on both sides of the
ball, despite the confusion created by an inexpierence with the specific league rules.
Both teams now know exactly what they have to do to take their team to the top!!! The first game of the regular season
will be played sometime in the days of the week Sept. 30th - Oct.6th. Keep posted for updates, pics, stats, and
GAME TIMES!!!!!
