For the Whitmore White Workhorse, reaching the eSFL fantasy football championship was about the journey. For Pardue, the week of contest was about the game itself.
In a contest in which the Appalachian division had never won, 0-6, first time title bowler, Whitmore totally outperformed Pardue in every phase of the game in a 157.58 to 132.12 rout of the Bruisermakers who were appearing in their first title game as well. The upset ended the Global division six game winning streak.
"Sometimes things just work out this way," Whitmore coach Chris Whitmore said. "I would like to thank commissioner Rhodes for having faith in the workhorses, my wife for allowing me to spend money each year on this league, and the other teams and coaches for there contributions to this league! We are bringing the trophy to the Appalachian division! This season we felt like we weren't playing up to our potential at times but ramped up our game when needed, what an incredible run through the playoffs."
As mentioned, it is Whitmore's first eSFL title. After winning nine games in the regular season, the Workhorse (9-5) won at Texan Bruisers in the Wild Card, and at Fields Fanatix in the Division Championship.
The difference in talent was apparent from the outset of the game. Pardue struck quickly with a touchdown run by RB J. Charles and was quickly answered by Whitmores S. Jackson seconds later. From that point on it was all Whitmore, scoring 130 more points on the Sunday afternoon. When Sundays NFL contest were complete, it was very clear who would win this event. With two NFL games remaining, Pardue needed to catch lightning in a bottle to pull off a miracle win. Instead, he caught it across his ass and fell by more than 25 points. "We made it close, but it was never in question after MNF saw Roddy struggle with onl 13. Congrats to Whit, your team stepped it up when it counted the most", Bruisermakers coach James Pardue stated Wednesday morning.
Whitmore was led by tight end Kellen Winslow's 28.8, his seventh round draft pick in 2010. His team defense threw in an important 50 and kicker Niel Rackers added 19. Winslow was named Ballistic Bowl XI MVP.
The losing Pardue team was led by running back Jamaal Charles' 29 and quarterback Mike Vick's 24.62. Vick's performance was one of the few times this year he posted less than 30 in a week. The difference in the game can easily be seen as two zero's by the Bruisermakers, TE K. Boss and WR David Nelson both failed to post a single point.
"I'm glad I was part of the turnaround here in the Appalachian," Whitmore said. "It was great how we brought the division community together. In the second half of the game, we responded and brought the fight. We wanted to score some points and show everybody we didn't give up."
Whitmore recieved 1,242 dollars in the win, Pardue brought home 138 for winning the Global Division championship.
