In the S3 Ultimus Championship game, the Hawks’ RB Darlane Farlane faced off against the Outlaw’s RB Reg Mackworthy. Farlane found himself in an uphill battle, achieving only 2.4 yards per carry. However, the Hawks stayed committed to the run, allowing Farlane to put together 25 rushing attempts for 61 yards. Mackworthy also maintained an average 2.4 yards as the Hawks’ defense worked hard to contain him, buthis attempts were much more limited as the Outlaws relied heavily on the passing game to move the ball. With only 10 attempts and 24 yards, this game was not one of Mackworthy’s brightest moments. However, both Running Backs were able to put together a rushing touchdown. In Farlane’s case, his touchdown was the only one achieved by his team. While 25 carries was fairly standard for Farlane, who carried the ball 360 times over the course of 14 games in the regular season, it was a major departure for Mackworthy, who had roughly outpaced Farlane’s 360 carries with 364 of his own, leading to averages of 3.3 and 3.1 yards per carry throughout the season for Mackworthy and Farlane respectively. However, while Mackworthy found the end zone 10 times during the regular season, Farlane only managed to find it on 6 different occasions, leaving him with a less than 50% touchdown rate during the regular season.

Bottom Half: Write about why two of the four teams were not able to make the playoffs. Can be completed at any point
Though this is coming from a biased source, it’s still hard to deny that the Wraiths came into this season with the S3 play-offs already in their sights. Perhaps that level of overconfidence led to their downfall, but many experts had them pegged for a break-out year. The Wraiths had made the play-offs in S1 and S2 and seemed to finally be ready to make the leap to the Ultimus Championship game, if not outright winning the championship with a bit of luck. However, luck was not on their side. After coming into the season as the team with the 2nd highest total TPE, the Wraiths went on to underachieve, losing a series of close games that could easily have pushed them into the play-offs if they had gone the other way.
The second team to miss the play-offs found themselves out of contention fairly early on, but it’s hard to imagine the run that they could have had. The Colorado Yeti put together an impressive 8-6 record in S2 and missed the S2 play-offs by a narrow margin, but the season-long suspension of star Quarterback Logan Noble quickly dashed the teams’ hopes of repeating that type of run this season and, with that, their chances of making the play-offs. They picked up QB Nicholas Pierno and gave it a great effort, but the loss of Noble was too difficult to overcome.

In my mind, the MVP of the Championship game goes to S3 Franklin Harris Jr., who performed above and beyond. Harris managed to snag not only 1, but 2 interceptions, making him a clear difference-maker. And, on top of that, he used that opportunity to run the ball into the end zone for a defensive Touchdown, one of two scored by the Outlaws’ defense. He also racked up 7 tackles and 3 pass deflections, helping to limit the Hawks’ attack in the air. With performance like that, Harris has to be considered a big part of the reason that the Hawks walked away with no passing touchdowns as they managed to keep Hawks’ QB Scrub Kyubee in check.
The Outlaws’ defense is known for being dominant and the rest of their team no doubt lived up to that expectations, securing an incredible 49-12 victory over the NSFC Champion Hawks. However, it’s always amazing to see a rookie step up and make the type of plays that Harris did in this game. When his team needed him the most, he stepped up and it’s likely that he will continue to do so for many seasons to come. Big props to Harris and his teammates on an amazing game.

In the NSFC championship, the Philadelphia Liberty faced off against the Baltimore Hawks. This marked the Liberty’s first appearance in the play-offs since forming in S2. The Liberty and Hawks had both performed well over the course of the season with respective records of 8-5-1 and 9-5, separated only by a tie game that could have easily been a win for the Liberty. The Hawks went on to win 34-3, defeating their opponents in dominant fashion. However, it was a commendable effort for the Hawks, who will likely get another shot at the NSFL championship in the seasons to come.
In the ASFC championship, the Otters took on the defending S1 and S2 Ultimus champions, the Outlaws. The Otters had put together an impressive 8-6 season, but the Outlaws were coming off a near-perfect season record of 13-1, losing only once to the Hawks by 3 points. As expected by many, the Outlaws were again victorious in a 27-7 win and advanced to the Ultimus championship with a third ASFC championship to their name.
In the Ultimus championship, the Hawks once again faced the Outlaws in a rematch from S2. Just as they were in the ASFC championship, the Outlaws entered this match-up with the clear advantage and they delivered with an unbelievable 47-12 victory, allowing the Outlaws to continue their reign over the NSFL.

Championship Game Recap: Do a recap of the best play from the championship game. Must be completed after the Championship Game.
In the Ultimus Champion, the Outlaws scored a defensive touchdown that put together a lead that the Hawks would not recover from. The Outlaws were already up by 7 points after Reg Mackworthy broke into the end zone for a rushing touchdown, but the Hawks were hoping to march down the field late in the first quarter as they hoped to match that touchdown with one of their own.
The drive started off well-intended, but the Outlaws were ready to defend their lead at all costs. With just over four minutes left, the first throw by Scrub Kyubee connected with rookie Trey Willie for a gain of 4 yards, but it was followed by an encroachment penalty that left the Hawks at 2nd & 1. Kyubee was in great position, but the Outlaws took back the advantage with a sack that planted the QB back 7 yards, leaving them at a much less friendly 3rd * 8. He took a big chance with a pass to Stormblessed as they hoped to convert, but it was intercepted by the rookie Franklin Harris Jr., who seized the moment and rushed down the field toward his team’s own end zone, scoring the first defensive touchdown of the game. Through the championship, the Outlaws held the Hawks to only 12 points, never allowing them to recover from Harris’ early-game touchdown.
