Hooligans come back to beat Redlegs in 140.90-114.10 rout despite coming up short of expectations

Both teams fell short of expectations, but Hooligans did enough to knock off Redlegs. Predicted to come out on top by a score of 160.83-154.48, Hooligans rolled to a 140.90-114.10 win over Redlegs. Redlegs got out to a 7.30-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Hooligans after that. They were led by Austin Ekeler (23.3 points) and Carson Wentz (21.85). Mark Andrews (8 Rec, 112 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Brandin Cooks (3 Rec, 74 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Redlegs in the loss. Hooligans (2-0) will look to sustain their momentum against Brewmasters, while Redlegs (1-1) face War Pony in an effort to get back on track.
