The Lovely Lads succumb to Lavender Chill, 86.40-77.72

The Lovely Lads failed to bring their A game, as Lavender Chill came out on top with an 86.40-77.72 victory. The Lovely Lads nabbed a 5.1-point lead on Saturday behind Michael Pittman Jr. (9 points) and Tyler Bass (6), but Lavender Chill held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by A.J. Brown, who caught 9 passes for 181 yards for 18.1 points, and Brett Maher, who made both of his FG attempts (12 points). Najee Harris (86 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Justin Herbert (313 Pass Yds) did their part for The Lovely Lads in the loss. This marks the first time this season Lavender Chill have gotten the best of The Lovely Lads, after falling 98.54-63.64 in their last matchup. Lavender Chill will look to clinch the league title next week, while The Lovely Lads attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Lavender Chill
Hey, it's good to be confident, Lavender Chill. Deploying a player with zero points (Pat Freiermuth), while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
The Lovely Lads
Happy holidays, The Lovely Lads! We hope the GM of Lavender Chill will write a thank-you card for the generous 77.72-point gift this past week.
