High Fives come up short of predictions, succumb to Dillon Panthers, 110.62-94.62

There's no easy way to put it, High Fives didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Dillon Panthers came out on top with a 110.62-94.62 win. High Fives earned a 37.02-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar performances from Patrick Mahomes, who passed for 393 yards and 2 touchdowns for 21.62 points, and DeAndre Hopkins, who caught 9 passes for 136 yards (18.1 points). But Dillon Panthers held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Taysom Hill (291 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 33 Rush Yds) and Dalvin Cook (102 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). This marks the third time this season Dillon Panthers have taken down High Fives, after winning 116.92-110.82 in their last matchup. Dillon Panthers will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinals next week, while High Fives attempt to bounce back and lock up 5th Place.

Coach Talk

Dillon Panthers
Putting together a lineup that won by 16 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done.
High Fives
Recording only three receptions on five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for High Fives should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
