Last week Sunday, the Bahamas Flag Football League (BFFL) entered its seventh week; there were several marquee match-ups that took place and eventually shook up the standings in both the male and female divisions.
In the men's division, the Summit Academy Ravens showed why they were ranked as the best offensive and defensive team in the league. They destroyed the Bahama Clear Wolfpack, 34-0, improving their win/loss record to a perfect 6-0, while the Wolfpack fell to 1-4 on the season. The Finlandia Predators out-matched the N.P. Hurricanes, 47-0, and improved their record to 4-1. The Hurricanes fell to 0-5.
The Coca-Cola Hitmen came up huge in the fourth quarter as they held off the RBC Lions, 28-27, and put up their first win of the season. Meanwhile, A Sure Win's Team Elite came up with several big plays late in their game against the Orry J. Sands Spartans. They prevailed 14-8.
"The female division of the Bahamas Flag Football League took center stage during week seven of the regular season," said Bianca Lee, the league's public relations officer.
In the women's division, the defending champions Bahamas Welding and Fire Pink Foxes came up short against the Summit Academy Lady Ravens, losing 13-6. The loss was the Foxes second of the season. Division leader Sands Light Lynx showed why they were ranked as the best offensive team in the league; they defeated the SC Femme Fatale Lady Predators, 21-0, improving their record to 5-0 on the season.
The RBC Lady Lions came in tied with the Bahamasair Dashers on Sunday, but pulled ahead with a 6-0 victory over the Dashers. The Dashers fell to 1-3 in the standings. The Bommer G. Bobcats picked up a big win over the second place Johnson's Lady Spartans. The Bobcats won the game, 18-7, and managed to improve their record to 3-2, while handing the Spartans their first loss of the season.
The league will take a break this coming Sunday for Mother's Day, but will resume playing on May 18, with six games on the schedule.
