Week 9: Losses Sting More Than Vict’ries Echo

 

The Bulletin is going out on a different limb this week. This publication is illustrating with a few one-line headlines that losses in life (and especially high school football) stay with you longer and stir more feelings than vict’ries, and maybe that’s so in the Big Daddy Football League. These headlines deal only with GHS, but The Bulletin is sure some of these happened in Duncanville, Fairfield, Tuscaloosa, and Parts Unknown. If you have insight to any of these, email ‘em to The Bulletin and we’ll try to include them next week.

 

Walter Wellborn gets pick six on QB throwback

The Texas Armada Continues Their Roll Through Alabama

In agonizing fashion for the Mineral Springs Grenadiers, and ecstatic echoes for the Duncanville Armadillos, the most thrilling game in Week 9 in the BDFL matched these two teams, in a four-quarter shootout. K.P.’s fiery, but short, ‘Dillos stormed into Mineral Springs and managed to out-score the home team in a barn burner. Duncanville jumped out to an early lead, and then managed to keep pace with the Commissioner’s team the rest of the way. When it finally looked like the Grenadiers were going to take the lead, they called an ill-advised quarterback throwback pass that ended in disaster and a Pick Six for the visitors and vict’ry for the Armadillos.

 

Thomas Coffee runs wild in first quarter

Dorians Open Up A Can Against Nauts:

Week 9 in the BDFL produced a grand total of two A.W.’s and was marked by a number of close games. The match-up between the Altadena Dorians and the Jugtown Juggernauts was the former, a big, old, hairy, A.W. The ‘Nauts never stood a chance in this one as they decided to go the practice week without pads, and before they knew it, they fell behind 18-0 in the early going. A.E.’s team could never get it going and ended up taking a huge A.W. by the final score of 48-17. It was a huge win for the Dorians who wanted to perform their best in their return to Ed Bruce Field at Driver Stadium on the campus of Gardendale High School.

 

Glencoe wins by one in the rain

Cheetahs Notch A.W. Over Mayors In The Rain

In a torrential downpour, the Southside Cheetahs ran wild over their long-time rivals. The Sin Wagon rolled over the Magic City Mayors, 37-15, and over-qualified for an A.W. by one point in this 22-point win. The Cheetahs were strong early and often, tough to beat in the middle, and closed with a vicious stretch run to completely and totally over-run the Cronies. All the Mayors can possibly hope for is to be able to catch to Sin Cats in the playoffs to enact some revenge.

 

Despite Jerome’s (Jackson) efforts, Erwin wins

Bullets Demand Re-Count After Gut Wrenching Loss To Sleds:

After losing to the PowerSleds by a narrow margin (29-26), the Benton Bullets are officially launching a recount of the points and an investigation into the starters for the Fairfield PowerSleds. The Bullets were under the impression that UGa Bookworm Kicker was kicking for the Mean Machine. That would have given the Bullets a 26-25 vict’ry, which the old Bullerino was celebrating after the Sunday Night NFL game. However, when the preliminary result were posted by the fake news media, AP, and other entities, the kicker listed for the Sledheads was a different dude. Therefore, the published final score had the Sled defeating the Bullets 29-26, and controversy covering the pages of the tabloids and The Bulletin. At this point, hanging chads are being looked at as well as improprieties at the BDFL from the @$$ scoring system all the way to the top of the hierarchy.

 

Cullman gets revenge on Silver Spoons

BioCats Top Freebirds:

The Black Creek Freebirds were simply not ready to play in Week 9 in the BDFL and they were run off the field by the most unlikely of characters: the Western Hills Wildcats. The F’birds had everything to play for but just came out flat against a fired-up BioCats team that just seemed to want it more. Hime Hand’s team just could not seem to get the grass out of their hind parts in the early going of the NFL week and got worse as the weekend continued. Meanwhile, the James Gang kept plugging along, and when the final whistle blew, the BioCats had a six-point win over the stunned and confused Freebirds.

 

Curtis Stewart runs wild at Cramton Bowl

Dogs Slip Past Blitz By Three:

The Brookside Dogs have put themselves in a position to defend their 2019 BDFL Championship. As a chill begins to fill the air, and the leaves begin to turn, Mark’s Mutts are amassing total points and vict’ries in an effort to do the impossible (again), and bring Brookside another title. The Druid City Blitz stayed with the Dogs throughout Week Nine, but when the smoke cleared from Brookside Ballpark on the Banks of the Five Mile Creek, the home team had notched yet another win and moved closer to – once again – making hist’ry.

 

Jelks & Rose top Jarvis & Bucket by one

Bellcows Graze to Vict’ry in OT:

The Fieldstown Bellcows appear to be living right. Belrose’s team entertained the Gulf Coast Gamblers this past weekend, and took every shot the Gambino’s could deliver. The Bell Heads stood toe-to-toe with Kenny B. & Company as the two teams slugged it out for 60-minutes. However, sixty minutes was not enough. This game went into overtime, and the Bellcows were able to pull out an improbably vict’ry over the Gamblers by virtue of the longest play (which still stands as the official tiebreaker in the BDFL).

 

Freddie Weygand outduels Roderick Green

Bishop Beats Mukes:

It has been a tough year for the Hayden District Bishop Squad (HDBS). Bishop has had to deal with a lot of heavy duty bull stuff in 2020, and his BDFL team hasn’t been very good. In fact, they’ve been mostly awful. But, in Week Nine action, the Mt. High Blue Deacons got their minds right, and they came out and played a near flawless game against the Sloth Monsters. The Bishops earned the win against the Three Toed Tree Dwellers by two points and have proven that they are not-dead-yet in the 2020 Big Daddy Football League season.

 

In the Junior League:

In the JrBDFL, the Selma King Henry Southpaws held onto the top spot with a hard fought vict’ry over the Lowndes County Labs in Week 9. The rest of the standings and results can be found on the ESPN app, if you have clearance and the password… The Bulletin doesn’t.
