Monk's Morons 2 - 1 Vidyagamsk
A surprising victory for the Morons, as the HMC stole a fair number of rerolls for the Necromantic team. The Ogres managed to bull through the Vidyagamsk defenses in the first half, a pair of persistent werewolves unable to contain the AG3 Break Tackling Ogre Niels Bohr. However, while the Ogres were able to stop the Necromantic squad from scoring in the last two turn of the first half, they were not able to prevent them from knocking several Snots out.
In the second half the Morons spread wide, trying to find a way to contain the speedy werewolves with a man disadvantage. That disadvantage became severe a turn later when the last snotling went to the KO box on a failed TTM. Vidyagamsk scored quickly, hoping to take advantage of the underpopulated Ogres and turn a draw and a win, but fortunately for the Morons a handful of snots came back on the pitch, including Block Snot Charles Gobat. What followed was 4 turns of exceptionally good luck for the Morons, as they suffered only three boneheads on the final drive, all in non-critical situations, and were able to punch through the Necromantic line and somehow scramble into the endzone as time expired.
Niels Bohr leveled up from the action, which is a nice bonus. Somehow, the Morons are hovering around .500 just past the midpoint with their eyes set on a playoff berth. Next week, the rematch with Knives in the Darkness, another team in playoff contention and fighting with the Morons for that last ticket.
