Loudoun Extra Points



Top Performers - Season Finale

Paul Tenorio at 1:00 p.m., November 11, 2008

Welcome back to our final regular season installment of Top Performers. We've had far too many stellar individual and team performances to count this season and we'll be sure to hit you with the top performances from our top performers in the next couple weeks.

As far as our in-house Extra Points competition goes, two weeks ago I declared myself the victor after building an insurmountable lead through the first nine weeks of the season. Tenorio, has been about as successful as the St. Louis Rams this year, coming up with a couple shocking wins every so often but unable to establish any sort of picking continuity. After yet another 4-3 win this week, the final regular season tally is Brooks 44, Tenorio 31.

Now let's have a look see at our top performances from last Friday night...

WEEK 11 ACTUAL TOP PERFORMERS

DEF: Stone Bridge -The Bulldogs allows minus-89 yards rushing against TJ. The Colonials leading rusher had zero yards. 'Nuff said.

PLAYMAKER: Luke Bratton - Turned in a strong performance, throwing for 241 yards and three touchdowns in the Eagles' loss.

WEEK 11 PREDICTION RESULTS

Tenorio claimed to be a "fighter" who is more focused on "how he plays the game" than winning. Well, to quote my dear friend Herman Edwards yet again, YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME! (And sadly, you lost).
