General Monkey knock off Oblong balls to remain perfect in 132.8-85.5 rout

General Monkey won their third straight to open the season with an easy win over Oblong balls, cruising to a 132.8-85.5 victory. Oblong balls got out to an 8.0-point lead on Thursday, but it was all General Monkey after that. They were led by Keenan Allen (13 Rec, 132 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Carson Wentz (225 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 65 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). DK Metcalf (4 Rec, 110 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Justin Herbert (330 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 15 Rush Yds) led the charge for Oblong balls in the loss. General Monkey (3-0) will look to add to their success against Shavin Ryans Private, while Oblong balls (2-1) will try to develop some positive momentum against North Stars.
