1997 WFFL Divisional Championships
Maine Veins |

KEY LARGO- The Maine Veins have chosen the right time
of year to catch fire. For the second week in a row, they have scored over
50 points on the road and have humiliated their competition. This week
it was the Yancey Thigpen show, who would've guessed that one? Throw in
solid performances by Elway and Sanders and the game was over in a hurry.
Maine now makes their second trip to the Super Bowl in what has been a
fairy tale post-season. For Salisbury, their post-season troubles continue.
This was their third Eastern Division Championship in four years and they've
won none of them. Coach Loeffler just can't seem to win the big game. |

BOISE- Who would've thought that two Steelers would
carry their fantasy teams to a WFFL Super Bowl? Well, the Idaho Bags rode
the back of the highest scoring QB in the WFFL, Kordell Stewart, all the
way. His 5 TD's for 33 points matched the point production of the entire
Hawaii Punch team. Hawaii has lost it's second consecutive Division Championship,
and now looks to next year to keep their streak of three consecutive first
place finishes in the West alive. |
SUPER BOWL VII
Maine Veins vs. Idaho Bags
These two teams have spent the last 3 years at the bottom
of their divisions with records of 6-34 for Maine and 10-30 for Idaho over
that time. For three straight seasons, coaches Moore and Bastyr have squared
off in the Pro Bowl. This year, they face each other in another Bowl, the
Super Bowl. Both are 1-0 in Super Bowls, and the winner of this one will
be the first repeat winner in WFFL history, not to mention the first to
climb from a last place season to Super Bowl Champ. Coach Moore has NEVER
beaten Coach Bastyr, but he has also NEVER lost a post-season game.
Something has to give.
Wagner's Line: Bastyr's record over Moore is impressive,
and you can't forget Maine's 6-7 regular season record vs. Idaho's high
points. Idaho by 6.
