Much has been said about the Hamilton Raiders and their
explosive offense. They’ve been slowly climbing the ranks the
last couple of seasons, anxious to face higher ranked competition, and
prove that they are, in fact, the real deal. They would get their chance
at the Hamilton Bowl, and succeed in doing so, squaring off in a memorable
title match against the revamped, and very accomplished Toronto Titans.
The Raiders had their hands full in their semi-final match up against
the Hogs, while the Titans had a relatively easy time against the Axemen.
The Raiders may have expended more energy, but they didn’t show
any signs of fatigue in their entertaining bout with the Titans.

As mentioned, the Titans inspirational leader, Mike Smith, had some
revamping to deal with this past off-season. He lost his talented,
fleet-of-foot, quarterback of many years, Greg Brown, along with other
gifted athletes. Luckily for them, one of the fastest men in football,
(former Landell and Trojan great) aptly nicknamed “Roger the
Dodger”, was looking to throw for his own squad, a natural fit
for the Titans.
The acquisition for Roger paid off very well, as the
Titans put up some big numbers over the weekend. Their best match-up
was against the Raiders in their championship showdown, arguably the
most exciting contest of the entire Hamilton Bowl. This game came down
to the very last play, where the Raiders would just barely fail to score
in a red zone attempt, crowning the Titans “BB” champions.
Congratulations gentlemen!
