LETS GET READY TO RRRRRRUMBLE!!!!!
After 7 weeks of competition and 5 rounds of playoffs we have come down to the Wood Choppers of the Estates at Carpenter in Lakeland, FL taking on the SAS Strikers of the Saint Andrews Estates South in Boca Raton, Fl for the title of best in the nation. It's going to be an all Florida battle.
Both teams were odds-on underdogs in their final four match. The SAS Strikers had to get by the highest scoring team in the league, the Cedar Crest Crushers, to reach the title game. The Crushers had been doing just that to their opponents all season. Meanwhile the Wood Choppers only had to beat the highest scoring team of the playoffs, the Fairhope Superstars, to advance. The Superstars had been just that also up until this point.
What was needed here was a Knute Rockne like speech and coaches Oris Martin and Jerry Schmidt did exactly that. Both told their teams that as good as they had been up until that point, their next opponent had been better and they were gonna have to go up yet another level in their play. Well the teams answered the call. Do you think they went back to a locker room and sprayed champagne after their matches?
As stated before, these teams are no strangers to each other. The Wood Choppers took the title of conference champion but lost their only match of the season to the Strikers. The Strikers seem to be peaking at the right time as they continue to put up some record breaking or near record breaking scores in each of the last 2 playoff rounds. However, like Rocky Balboa, the Wood Choppers just keep answering the bell after every round. It's gonna be a battle royale for sure so stay tuned. Match time is scheduled for 1pm on Wednesday, April 28th.
Good Luck to both teams in your quest for the title of
"National Champion"
