It was a beautiful Saturday for football, but the Holy Terra Warriors saw the ugly side of the New Ork Skullcrushaz. New Ork, without two players after their last game with Chaos Chris, knocked six Warriors out of the game. Two Warriors won't be back for the next game. Another three Warriors were unconscious for varying lengths of the game. Without players and unable to control the line of scrimmage, New Ork pounded the ball into the endzone three times, winning 3 - 1. A crowd of 21000 were on hand at H.T.W. Stadium for the game, and let's check today's highlights.
Holy Terra takes the first kickoff and drives the ball up the left sideline. One of the Warriors catchers takes a short pass and pushes the ball to within two meters from the New Ork goal line. Orc thrower Flenger Faar, in for the injured blitzer Mawrio Killenums and playing back on defense, makes the TD saving block. The ball squirts towards Warriors blitzer Grimwulf "Grim Reaper" Granger, who promptly scoops up the ball. Granger darts between Faar and another Orc linemen and scored the first touchdown of the game. Unfortunately for Holy Terra, they aren't known for defense, and New Ork owns rest of the game.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Skullcrushaz roll their blitzers and Black Orc towards the right sideline. Using their superior strength and blocking skills, New Ork put nearly all of the Warriors onto the pitch. New Orc blitzer Luhkee Sefen rumbled down the sideline. The entire Warriors team had stuffed the line of scrimmage. In a last ditch effort to defend the endzone, a Warriors lineman blitzes Sefen. With a massive, spiked forearm shiver, Sefen stonewalls the human lineman. With nothing but endzone ahead, Sefen trots into the endzone and knots the game at 1 - 1.
Time expires on the first half as Holy Terra cannot force New Ork off the line of scrimmage. The second half begins with Holy Terra kicking to New Ork. Fans' frustration spills onto the field, and a mob slips over the wall and onto the pitch. Brandishing signs saying 'Holy Terra Hooligans', several Skullcrushaz are assaulted by the angry human fans. Four New Ork players are stunned by fan bum rush of the field. Once the mob is cleared from the field, play resumes, mostly with New Ork's player recovering from myriad blows to their heads.
The Warriors spread thin across the line of scrimmage, and New Ork takes advantage of the tactical mistake. Matched up one on one, the orcs pummel the humans. Creating another convoy of blitzers, Snotz M'kFawlee stomps into the endzone untouched. M'kfawlee begins the taunt the Warriors, but all the Warriors could do was look on from the midfield turf, where they had been knocked.
New Ork kicks off to Holy Terra, and again, Holy Terra tries to slip a single speedster along the right sideline towards the endzone. Sefen blasts the Warrior ballcarrier into the crowd, and the furious crowd promptly beats up the Warrior. The ball bounces into Sefen's lime mits, and he pumps the ball downfield. Lineorc Grunt, who had been racing downfield, hauls in the accurate pass. Grunt turns to the endzone. No Warrior is even close to the plodding Orc, and he huffs and puffs his way into the endzone.
The fat lady, Matilda Bellows, begins singing "So Long and Thanks for the Gold", the Warriors' postgame theme. Unfortunately, the game has not yet ended, but with another Warrior turnover, New Ork takes over. New Ork wins 3 - 1, their third straight win.
The game ends, and Holy Terra's inept defense does in a team that has speed and offensive playmakers. Holy Terra played to New Ork's strengths, and New Ork punished them...physically and on the scoreboard. Holy Terra continues to struggle and slips to 1 - 0 - 4. The path to the Bloodlust Cup is not going to get any easier for Holy Terra. The Holy Terra coach, Alton, said that his team needs power and physicality and are looking for an Ogre to sign as a free agent.
For New Ork, they control their destiny as they hit the midway point in the season. With four wins, two ties and no losses, the Skullcrushaz are cruising towards the playoffs. Also, New Ork has its full roster for the next game. Woe to the Skullcrushaz next opponent. See you next week, Bloodlust Football fans!
