Hakuna Matata fall to Flyhawks, 77.5-55.5

There's no easy way to say it, Hakuna Matata underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Flyhawks earned a 77.5-55.5 victory. Flyhawks jumped out to a 29.0-point lead on Thursday behind stellar efforts from Isaiah Simmons (13 points) and Wil Lutz (11) and never looked back. Patrick Queen (11 Tackles, 1 Sack) and the Los Angeles Chargers defense (37 Pts Allowed, 404 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) were the leaders for Hakuna Matata in the loss. Flyhawks (4-3) will look to keep it rolling against Gritz Blitz, while Hakuna Matata (4-3) take on KayCee Chiefs in an effort to get some positive momentum.
