(S8) - PT 4 - Rivalry

[adam2552]

Until this past game, Philadelphia Liberty running back Carter Bush’s biggest rival was his teammate Damien Kroetch. Carter Bush was constantly living in the shadow of the Philadelphia Liberty’s star running back that was a key contributor during their Ultimus Championship last season. This season started similarly with Carter Bush being moved all over the place offensively preventing him from finding any rhythm. However, a sudden change of strategy by the Philadelphia Liberty front office saw Damien Kroetch get shipped off to the Colorado Yeti. This cleared the stage for Carter Bush to truly shine. And in his first game as the primary ball carrier for the Philadelphia Liberty he did not disappoint. Carter Bush amassed 161 yards from scrimmage and scored twice being one of the sole highlights in the Liberty’s 40-25 loss to the Arizona Outlaws. For comparison, Damien Kroetch only had 15 yards in his debut for the Colorado Yeti. When asked after the game about his rival had changed, Carter Bush simply stated that Damien Kroetch remains his rival. Because when Carter Bush looks at the Philadelphia Liberty record books, he still sees the name that held him back. If Carter Bush can keep having repeat performances like last game though, those records won’t be standing for long.
