Underground Kings fall short of predictions, succumb to Schutt Up & Play in 127.00-87.25 rout

Underground Kings nabbed an 11.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Schutt Up & Play after that. They were led by John Brown, who caught 9 passes for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns for 31.75 points, and DJ Chark Jr., who caught 8 passes for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns (28 points).
