Re: Playoffs!!!
Game by game histories
Parkwood Predators vs. Nittany Dodgers, week 3, 2002. The 1-1 Nittany Dodgers travel to face the 1-1 Parkwood Predators.
The Predators are lead as usual by LaDanian Tomlinson’s 32.6 points. Marty Booker, acquired from the Dodgers in the off season, chips in 19.7, and Corey Dillon has 14.1. No other players scored in double digits. The Pred’s leave Jake Plummer’s 25.35 points, which would have made the difference.
In a very uncharacteristic game, the newly formed Dodgers are lead by their receivers. Donald Driver and David Patten combine for 38.2 points. Edge James has a solid, but not spectacular 19 points. Curtis Martin shows up with 11.3, and Vinny Testeverde is plagued by turnovers with a mere 6.35 points. The Tampa Bay D saves the day with a 21 point explosion, to lead the Dodgers to a 114.2 to 105.1 victory. The Dodgers lead the series 1-0, and 2-0 if you include their predecessor Rabid Garbage Dog victory over the Preds in 2001.
Parkwood Predators vs. Nittany Dodgers, week 11, 2003. The reeling 3-7 Nittany Dodgers face the East leading 7-3 Parkwood Predators.
The Predators again have an off scoring day with no players scoring 15 points. Brad Johnson, Derrick Mason, Santana Moss, Dallas Clark, and the Seattle D all score between 12 and 14 points, but the Preds really get nothing else. LT2 and Marcel Shipp combine for 16 points. The Preds starters score a mere 92.5 points, while the bench scores 176.85, lead by Jake Delhomme (24.1), Tim Rattay (24.65), Kevan Barlow (17.8), Andre Johnson (20.45), and Shannon Sharpe (31.6).
The Dodgers on the other hand play almost their best lineup, and are lead by their studs. Chad Pennington scores over 25 points on just 14 pass attempts. Tiki Barber goes for just over 25, and Edge has a then team record 46 points. The KC receiver due of Johnnie Morton and Tony Gonzalez chip in a combined 31.2, and the Dodgers rout the Preds with 146.9 points.
Parkwood Predators vs. Nittany Dodgers, week 7, 2004. The 5-1 Predators look for revenge against the down, but not yet out, 2-4 Nittany Dodgers.
The Dodgers just lacked any firepower this week, with Tiki Barber the only player to show up, posting 32.2 points. Fill in Amos Zereoue played decently with 13.65 points, and the special team combination of Longwell and the MN D combined for 28 points. Things were so bad, the Dodgers actually went with a 2 TE starting lineup.
The Predators, meanwhile, finally showed up to play in the series. The Preds barely missed regular starters Kevan Barlow, Andre Johnson, and Hines Ward, all out on the bye. Fill ins Michael Pittman and Dennis Northcut combined for 37.15 points. Aaron Brooks had a nice game with 23, and LT2 chipped in 16.75. The Baltimore D demolished their opponent with 24 points.
