Da Purps extended their win streak to 12 games with a hard-fought win over Evergreen3, securing a 126.46-112.24 victory. Da Purps leapt out to a 29.30-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from Mark Ingram II and Mark Andrews. Ingram II ran for 76 yards and a touchdown for 23.1 points, while Andrews caught 4 passes for 52 yards and a touchdown (13.2 points). Evergreen3 came back to take the lead during the late slate on Sunday, powered by Julio Jones (31.9 points) and Kareem Hunt (11.6). Not to be deterred, Da Purps made a run later that night, as the Buffalo Bills defense (18 points) put them back on top for good.

Da Purps will look to keep winning in the Championship next week, while Evergreen3 seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Da Purps
Deploying a lineup that earned 126.46 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
Evergreen3
Chin up, Evergreen3! Take my word for it (this is coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that scrappy Assistant Coaching gig available at the local Pop Warner team down the road!
