The Airballers and Bombjacks, two teams on the bubble for the RAFFLE playoffs,
squared against each other and played to a 14-14 TIE.  (Oh no! Not again!) 
The Airballers were the home team and had J. Jaegger kick a field goal in OT
(Much like a certain J. Breech :( to pull out the win 17-14.  The Airballers
end a 3 game losing streak.

Another game involving playoff bubble teams, the Linemen and the Anarchists
were close going into monday night.  The Linemen scored 15 points to pull out
the win in convincing 37-18 fashion.  The Anarchists have dropped 6 straight -
a record in the RAFFLE :(

In a game involving teams in second place in their respective divisions, the
Trouncers made a case for the Club division by defeating the Spade division
Bombers 34-12.  Both teams are now 6-4.

Hot Death hoped to end a two game losing streak against the talented Bastards.
They didn't.  The Bastards unleashed for 15 points on Monday night to earn
the 29-21 win.  The Hot Death have lost three straight and have put the
NoTrump division up for grabs, but their magic number is 2.

In the continuing battle for RAFFLE superiority, the Steelers again prevail to
handily defeat the Spade-leading team Lightning 35-8.  The Steelers have won
three tough games in a row.

In the third game involving playoff bubble teams, the Cloggers became the 2nd
RAFFLE team to score over 50 points by thrashing the Wildcats 50-24.  The
Cloggers picked up 20 points on defense alone and move to 2.5 games behind Hot
Death in the tightening NoTrump division.
