San Jose vs Orange County for the ASFC championship was decided by only three points with a last minute kick to give the Otters the win near the end of the game. However, this was a game that was a defensive battle all the way through the game. And the MVP of this was none other than Linebacker turned Safety Ian Bavitz. Bavitz played lights out at the free safety position this game but looking suspiciously more like himself during his linebacker days.
Head coach Timeconsumer obviously had big plans for Bavitz this game, sending him on blitz after blitz at Chris Orosz. Bavitz took Orosz to the dirt three times during that game, and one at the very end following two other sacks to take Orosz down in the endzone, giving OCO the ball back. They weren't able to put up more points after that safety but did eat up more clock before San Jose's final scoring drive.
This marks the second time Bavitz has been named playoff series MVP as he has been a dominant force on the Orange County defense for several seasons. Although often not popular enough to be named to the probowl he is absolutely a critical piece of the OCO defense and one who helped take them to their third Ultimus trip in so many years.
Championship Game Recap: Do a recap of the best play from the championship game. Must be completed after the Championship Game
5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, down by 6, and the Liberty have the ball on their own 28. The Liberty drive down the field in short order, setting up for a 3rd and goal pass from the 5 yard line with the endzone in their sights, only 1:47 left in the game. The Liberty are about to tie it up and kick the XP for the win. The Otters need a stop here if they want to take home their third trophy.
The Liberty line up in the I-Formation, the playcall is an RB Post to Damien Krotech, but he's well covered up the middle by Elvin Enchant. Rove looks to his second read and sees Garden on a left out route just infront of the goal line, he has a step on CB Marc Spector. Oles sees this as their best shot and unleashes a pass just out of the reach of Spector and Garden secures it, he reaches for the goal line, but Spector wraps up and with deceptive strength brings Garden down fast and hard on the 1 yard line.
Oles never got to his third read to see Paul Dimirio wide open in the endzone. The next play on fourth down Josh Garden drops the game winning TD in the endzone. Otters win 23-17. Marc Spector saved the day.

Going to Disneyland!:Who was the Ultimus MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
Ultimus MVP is difficult to decide this season. Nobody on the Orange County team really stood out as the biggest playmaker during the game. Rather the whole team seemed to play as one cohesive unit and help each other find success. Given that one person has to be selected I think it is fair to say that Bradley Westfield is the MVP of this Ultimus game.
Having been an all-star player since season one Westfield is constantly on the top of the league in stats season after season. Although recently taking a backseat to the renaissance that Jordan Yatesa is experiencing Westfield is still a dominant force on the team and the best in the league when it comes to gaining yards after the catch. Westfield is so good at outrunning and dodging defenders that he has the most efficient yards per reception in the league while also showing soft hands that never drop balls.
In the Ultimus game Westfield demanded respect from the defenses to always account for him, allowing the field to open up for the rest of his team. He caught 7 balls for 130 yards averaging 18.6 yards per reception and found the endzone once as well. His longest reception was for 49 yards as he outran the Liberty defense. Westfield may have to share the ball more than he had in the past, but he is still the greatest offensive weapon in the NSFL.
Unsung Hero:Who was the unsung hero of the playoffs, convince us. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
Can you be a hero if you still lose? Hard to say one way or the other but if I had to choose someone who stepped up to give his team a chance it would be Clifford Rove. The quarterback turned cornerback played some of his best football of his career during the playoffs this season and almost took home the trophy because of it.
In the NSFC Championship vs Yellowknife Clifford Rove had 5 tackles, 4 PDs, and 1 interception that he took to the house. He did better than Kevin Cushing the team's #1 corner, and he was asked to cover some challenging receivers while also facing dual threat Matt Akselsen. Even though it was his first year at the position he stepped up and thrived in the spotlight.
When the Ultimus game came a few days later he was called on again, this time he had to face the combo of Jordan Yates and Bradley Westfield, the two most prolific touchdown scoring receivers in the league. This was going to be no easy feat. Yet Rove did not succumb to the pressure and he again showed that he can play with the best of them as he tallied 6 tackles, 2 PDs and one interception. His team wasn't able to capitalize on the opportunity he gave them, but unfortunately he can't control that. Rove played like a superstar out there and was the unsung hero of Philly.
