ZFL Game of the Week

vs.

    We are talking serious old school here. This is a legitimate rivalry in the early years of the ZFL.  These two teams met twice in the 1997 regular season, each taking a game by less than 10 points.  They then met in the League Chapionship game where the Gridstars edged the Wookies.  they then met in week 2 this season and the Wookies again lost 99-82.  The Gridstars have now taken three games in a row from the Wookies.  There is more to this game than just revenge, the DFFC is at stake.  These are the top two teams in the conference right now.  Regardless of who wins the Gridstars will maintain the lead by it will be ever so slim.  Watch this game guys, it is big.


Missing Player of the Week
Eric Moulds - WR Buffalo

Moulds would have scored 32 points for someone in the ZFL this week.  There is a big reason he didn't start, he is a free agent!  Hey guys only two games weren't decided by less than 32 points, oh well maybe next time.  By the way check and see how many free agency picks you have left.

Records

    We have had a couple additions to the record book in the past couple weeks.  Ryan Leaf has made his third appearance into the negitive point club.  His week 6 (-5) point performance almost topped his earlier -6 point performance.  He is the only player to be in that club for multiple games, congratulations Ryan.
    We also had another great ZFL milestone.  The lowest total points scored in a single game for both teams was beaten three times in the past three weeks.  The record will stand as 111 points; The Dawgs beat the Mallards 61-50.  Again Ryan Leaf a part of ZFL history.  In all fairness Leaf did help the Mallards to their season high total of 106 points in week 8, adding 21 points himself.
    Steve Young, who was the inuagural member of the negative point club and the first player to be in both the negative point and the 40 point game club again made a place in the 40 point game club.  He scored 44 points for the Nighthawks in week 7.
    The NFL saw Jason Elam tie its longest field goal record by booting a 63 yarder on Sunday.  This also helped him to beat the ZFL kicker record by 6 points.  He brought the Wookies 36 points in Week 8.
