Bleue Dry 7.1 struck first in a huge way. Quarterback Frederic Juneau found Eric Namts downfield for an incredible 45-yard touchdown, setting the tone for what would be a back and forth first half. While their attempt for a 2-point conversion fell short, it was clear they had come to play.
Blue Ballers responded. AJ Gomes led a methodical drive, finding Nicholas Gomes-Risso for 21 yards and then connecting with Marvin Steinberg for a 19-yard gain. Moments later, Gomes threaded a pass to Steinberg for a 5-yard touchdown, leveling the score. Their 1-point conversion attempt, however, was unsuccessful, leaving the game tied.
Bleue Dry 7.1’s next offensive possession was ended when Marvin Steinberg came up with a huge interception. Blue Ballers would capitalize with a Gomes to Gomes-Risso touchdown.
Juneau kept the pressure on, unleashing a 45-yard bomb to Giovani Antonacci for Bleue Dry’s second touchdown. Yet again, the extra-point attempt was unsuccessful, leaving points on the field.
The defenses began to take center stage. Giovani Antonacci, having just scored for Bleue Dry, snagged an interception of his own to shift momentum.
AJ Gomes would get it right back though as he intercepted Juneau just 2 plays later.

Juneau refused to back down. With precision, he delivered touchdown passes to Zachary Vincent and Yvan Desjardins, claiming the lead for Bleue Dry 7.1. Their struggles with conversions continued, but their defense, led by Antonacci’s second interception of the night, held firm.
In the final minutes, Bleue Dry 7.1 sealed the victory with a few safe plays. Juneau’s leadership shone, finishing with 270 yards and five touchdowns. Antonacci‘s defensive heroics, combined with Namts’ big catches, proved too much for the Blue Ballers to overcome.

Ambush and Bleue Dry 7.1 meet in the finals
I play for Ambush so I wont give my opinion on this game. In the regular season these teams met twice and both games were close and entertaining, so if history is any indication this game will be a back and forth contest that will most likely come down to the last drive.
