The high-powered shootout between Dallas and Keystone in the semifinals was a nail-biter right down until the final minutes of the Monday night football game, and Dallas emerged victorious 110-108.5. Your commish does not recall another FFL game where both teams scored in excess of 100 points, little alone in a playoff game.

So our matchup is set for our 31st championship game – the defending champion Armadillos vs. the only team without their name on the championship trophy: Muffdivers. We’ll know after New Year’s weekend whether Dallas will retain the trophy or whether it will make its first pilgrimage to South Florida.

In our consolation matchups next weekend, Keystone will play Mercer to determine 3rd and 4th place overall, and Boxboro will play Chicago to determine 5th and 6th place.

With two weeks remaining in the overall points race, Dallas has extended it’s lead to 52 points over Miami, with the Blowfish (-58.5) and the Froglickers (-72.5) still within striking distance.
