Having soared through the regular season with the grace and dominance of a bird of prey, the Spring Mountain Eagles found their wings clipped when they met the Virginia City Muckers in playoff action.
The Muckers, showing no inclination for mercy, steamrolled their way to a decisive 65-35 victory, handing Spring Mountain its most lopsided defeat since the chill of January 2. The Eagles, finishing with a record of 15-7, will have time to reflect on what went wrong as their season ended.
Meanwhile, the Muckers, improving to an impressive 24-3, have now strung together two straight wins and look every bit the team to beat. But for now, both squads find themselves without a future contest on the horizon—one relishing a triumph, the other lamenting a hard fall from grace.
