San Tan Youth Football League Eagles

Hey All… wanted to reconfirm that the first game on Saturday against the Miners has been moved to 12pm.  I think this bodes well for the Eagles as the Predators will no longer have an extra 2 hours of rest before we meet at 8pm.

There was much talk about the location of the games (Prospector Park).  Click here for a Google map to the game’s location and click here to view a web page about the location.

Also, ol’ Scorsese was at it again and put together another stellar video of the Eagles versus the Rattlers.  Nice work Ryan… your videos are incredible!

Well… the playoff picture crystallized this morning as the STYFL back office updated the scoring from this weekend’s action. The leagues top teams took care of business as the Eagles, Rams, Predators, Diablos and Rattlers won by comfortable margins as expected.

There was one contest on the slate that had heavy playoff implications as the Cougars from Maricopa squared off against the Tempe Buffaloes. With the win, the Cougars moved to 3-5 and grabbed the 7th seed. The Cardinals benefited from the Buffaloes loss and nabbed the 8th seed and the right to play the Rams next Saturday in the quarter-finals.

Scores from around the league:

Predators 46, Bulldogs 14
Rattlers 13, Cardinals 0
Eagles 18, Miners 0
Rams 23, Vipers 13
Cougars 24, Buffaloes 0
Diablos 24, Pirates 0

The San Tan Youth Football League announced the game format for the playoffs today. Apparently, the playoffs have been expanded to include 8 teams this season. The top 4 teams from each conference will qualify for the playoffs and the first week will include both the quarter-final and semi-final matchups. Each division will be assigned to a single site for the 11/3 showdown. Sites have yet to be determined.

The seedings will be determined as follows (tie-breakers in descending order):

1. Winning Percentage
2. Head to Head Matchups
3. Points Allowed

Based on this formula, the current seedings would look like this:

1. Rams (7-0)
2. Predators (6-1) (Predators beat Eagles 13-6)
3. Eagles (6-1)
4. Diablos (5-2)
5. Rattlers (4-3) (Rattlers beat Miners 21-0)
6. Miners (4-3)
7. Cougars (2-5) (Cougars beat Cardinals 7-0)
8. Cardinals (2-5)

Christmas came early today as the staff at STYFL.com mercifully published the score of the Bulldogs vs Pirates game. In turn and perhaps somewhat sadly, I can now satiate my obsessive compulsive desire to publish the STYFL Mighty Might football standings for Week 5. But first, a review of the scores from around the league.

Eagles 27, Cardinals 0
Rams 36, Cougars 12
Rattlers 21, Miners 0
Predators 26, Buffaloes 0
Diablos 32, Vipers 0
Bulldogs 7, Pirates 0

No huge upsets here with the top teams taking care of business. Of note, the Predators beat our next opponent 26-0 and our last two games are against the Rattlers and Miners respectively. The Rattlers game could very well determine the winner of the division. But hey… let’s not look ahead… we’ve got to take care of business against the Buffaloes on Saturday at 10am at Tempe High School. Should be fun!

ARGH… where the heck are the darn scoring updates from this weekends football action? I’m dyin’ over here… help a brutha out!? I have literally visited the STYFL.com web site about 150 times today. Obsessive, yes I know, but I’m trying to give y’all an update on this weekend’s action and I want to put up an image of the updated standings. I don’t think I’m asking for all that much really. Just a score on the Bulldogs versus Pirates game. If any of you have any pull with the commish or know the score for some reason, please post a comment.

Thanks,

The Editor

Well, it’s a little bit late in the season to be launching the site, but hey… with the exception of Del Caron we’ve all got day jobs. At any rate, check back often for the latest pictures, videos and blog posts from each of the Eagles games. Heck, we may even blog about a practice or two.
