Headbusters defeat Team Pluto for third straight win in 113.20-90.38 drubbing

Headbusters extended their win streak to three games with a dominant win over Team Pluto, cruising to a 113.20-90.38 victory. Team Pluto took a 6.80-point lead on Thursday, but Headbusters held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Jalen Hurts (315 Pass Yds, 61 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TDs) and A.J. Brown (9 Rec, 181 Rec Yds). Justin Fields (23.58 points) and Rhamondre Stevenson (22.8) did their part for Team Pluto in the loss. This marks the second time this season Headbusters have beaten Team Pluto, after winning 112.08-88.7 in their last matchup. Headbusters will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Team Pluto seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Headbusters
Deploying a lineup that won by almost 23 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done.
