Ave Rams fall short of predictions, lose to Black Stars, 117.92-111.42

There's no sugarcoating it, Ave Rams underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Black Stars emerged victorious with a 117.92-111.42 win. Black Stars leapt out to a 46.62-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from Amon-Ra St. Brown (9 Rec, 122 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Rhamondre Stevenson (15.7) and never looked back. James Conner (22.5 points) and Samaje Perine (17.3) carried the flag for Ave Rams in the loss. This marks the second time this season Black Stars have gotten the best of Ave Rams, after winning 138.16-124.12 in their last matchup. Black Stars (6-6) will look to keep it rolling against The A team, while Ave Rams (5-7) take on Wyszków Rams in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

Black Stars
Nice job, Black Stars. Putting together a starting crew that posted nearly 118 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 13.
Ave Rams
Ave Rams may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 21 targets in Week 12. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group recorded just 13 catches.
