The Atlanta Xplosion’s defended their Eastern Conference crown by defeating the New York Sharks 10-7.  In a game where the Xplosion started off very slow, but showed their championship form with their second-half comeback.  They now go on to defend their crown August 11th, at Roswell High School against Detroit Demolition (the Western Conference Champs).

In a defense dominated first-half, the Xplosion squandered numerous chances with turnovers.  A golden opportunity was lost when Cheryl “LIIT ” Glover, #7- Quarterback, threw a costly interception in the red-zone.  The Sharks defense came to play limiting the Xplosion’s offense.  Not to be out done, the Xplosion continued its dominating season, even without their number one performer Angela “DeathRowe” Rowe, #41-Linebacker. Rowe went out with an apparent ankle injury.  A very physical first-half ended 0-0.

The Xplosion got a wake-up call when the Sharks’ Courtney Ray, #9-Quarterback, threw a pass for about 60-yards (catch and run).  Putting the Sharks in scoring position.  A few plays later, the Sharks were up 7-0.  The Xplosion answered the call when “LIIT” rolled out to find Jessalyn Martin, #16-Widereceiver, streaking down the “Sideline” and hit her in stride for a touchdown strike.  They tied the game 7-7.  When the momentum fully on the Xplosion’s side, the “Darkside Defense” dug in.  With the constant pressure on the Sharks’ quarterback, resulted in a sack and fumble in which the Xplosion recovered.  A few plays later, the game winning field goal was kicked by Jakequeline Walls, #78-Kicker.

The Atlanta Xplosion has one more chance to defend their championship, August 11th.  Go check them out.
