“The characters of Firehurler played their hearts out in this one; nothing came easy. First half we took the ball up the field, pestered by rats the whole way. We tried to keep the drives slow and steady, free of ball threats, but the threats came anyway! Juliana had the ball knocked loose near the sideline. A melee ensued, and she barely recovered the ball in time to score at the end of the half.

A quick snap just before halftime threatened to allow the speedy Rats to show us just how Real they could be. Their chain push got them to where they would only need a single GFI, but Stevin pulled off the unlikely INT to stop the threat.

Second half, the Rats opened up the playbook a bit and scored early into the half. The pressed us sorely on the ensuing kickoff and got us to play fast and loose with the ball. Juliana was all set to loop around the rat defense, but tripped near midfield! A timely skull by the rats kept them from making what looked like a high-probability scoring effort, and Kyrus's fumble knocked the ball back to Juliana. We swept clear a path in T8 and handed the ball to Jinzan (who is more of a basher than a baller, pirate that he is) for the winning score.
