RUMblin Bumblers succumb to Grove St. Hawks, 150-132

There's no easy way to say it, RUMblin Bumblers didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Grove St. Hawks emerged victorious with a 150-132 win. RUMblin Bumblers leapt out to a 28-point lead on Saturday behind a combined 38 points from Michael Pittman Jr. (8 Rec, 82 Rec Yds) and Aaron Jones (66 Rush Yds, 21 Rec Yds).

Grove St. Hawks
Getting the win is most important, Grove St. Hawks, but we've also identified one spot where we should get better as a team. Our QB was thoroughly outclassed by the opposition.
