San Tan Youth Football League Eagles

Week 5 results are in and the Eagles (3-1) stand alone in second place with two regular season contests remaining.  The Birds dispatched the Rattlers 18-12 last weekend in a game that wasn’t as close as the score would indicate.  The team is really starting to round into form and has a tough contest coming up this weekend against the Cardinals (2-2).  The Cardinals are coming off a surprising upset 12-7 loss to the Rams (1-4). In other STYFL Mighty Might action, the Bulldogs upended the Special forces 19-18 in a nail biter.

With wins over the Cardinals and the Special Forces, the Eagles would be guaranteed the #2 seed heading into the first round of the playoffs on November 1.  Since there are seven teams, the league will hold a play-in playoff round featuring games between the #2-#7 teams.  Should the Eagles end up with the #2 seed, they would play the team with the weakest record at the conclusion of the regular season. At this point, their opponent would be the Rams who the Eagles beat earlier this season 20-6.  I know, I know… one game at a time.  It’s fun to speculate though.  I just have the feeling that the Eagles will run the table and set themselves up nicely for post season play.  I guess we’ll have to wait and see.  Go EAGLES!!
