After a four-year hiatus the PFFL Frost Bowl Tournament returned this past Sunday, two days after the local temperature was 77 degrees. On a much windier day 12 teams battled for the Frost Bowl crown. Predictably PRIMETIME ended up beating VAPOR in the championship game 26-13.

For the first time in league history we provided teams with the choice to compete in recreational bracket or the competitive bracket. Creating a low-pressure environment for teams that just wanted to play for fun proved to be an effective way for the four teams that competed in the bracket to build confidence in case they were selected to advance to the playoff round of the tournament.

During the round robin portion of tournament each team played four games. After the outcomes of those games were decided the league administration selected the top four teams from the competitive bracket along with the top two teams. Teams were selected based on their overall records, head-to-head records and points allowed.

One of the highlights of the day came courtesy of the PFFL Travel Team. Just a month removed from competing in the NFL Flag National Championship Tournament, the young men coached by Youth League Coach and PFFL All-Star Dennis “Shor D” Wolford shocked WRENIS PINCKLES in a 20-14 win. Quarterback Shakur Pack-Adams led the way completing 60 percent of his passes and rushing for a TD.

Apparently young legs are even more important than fresh legs when it comes to playing in a tournament that requires the championship teams to play seven games in one afternoon. Although the core of PRIMETIME is comprised of veteran players in their early 30s, the unsung heroes turned out to be the young guns. Cam Patterson’s five catches, TD, and interception were crucial to PRIMETIME’s win. His interception of All-Star QB Cornell Mack on VAPOR’s first possession set the tone for PRIMETIME’s defensive gameplan.
