Westwood Predicts Ballers Victory

DRINKIN - 3 years ago, he was the most hated player on the Ballers roster but over the last 3 seasons, Troy Westwood has worked on getting back into the fans good graces and is looking to exact some revenge on the Hellraisers and is predicting a Ballers victory this afternoon.

A brief history lesson for those of you that are new to Baller football. Season 1, first round of the playoffs, #1 seeded Drinkin' hosting the #8 seed Ballers. Troy Westwood misses a 20 yard chip shot in the first quarter of the game. The Ballers end up losing 17-16 and despite going 3 for 3 in his remaining field goals of the game, the fans still take their pain and anger out on Troy Westwood.

Troy rebounded nicely in season 2 hitting 31 of 41 on the year including 2 for 2 in the Ballers 2nd straight opening round playoff loss. But Troy really shone in season 3 going 67 for 76 including 37/39 from 40 yards or less. This performance would net him the league leader award for field goals made.

Troy returns to the scene of the crime and has nothing on his mind except for hitting field goals.

"It's been a tough road getting to where I am now but I believe that I've become miles better than I was back then. This team as a whole is much better than we were back then and have made huge strides this season over last season. Look at the stats, we've attemped 56 less field goals this season while attempting 18 more PATs so that shows that we are scoring more and settling for less field goals. We also punted 19 times less this season so we are definitely moving in the right direction. Drinkin' is going to be in for a heck of a fight today and we're walking away victorious," Kicker Troy Westwood.

It will definitely be an uphill battle for an improved Ballers team who has won their last 6 in a row but they are facing a team that has won their last 17 in a row. The Ballers were the team that came the closest to beating Drinkin' with a 24-20 lead at the half and a 31-30 lead to start the 4th quarter. The Ballers would pull ahead to 38-37 but Drinkin' would pull ahead in the dying minutes to win 47-38.

Troy Westwood isn't the only one predicting a victory as WR Ryan Betesta is also jumping on board. Betesta has made great promises in the past including his last one on Canada Day when he vowed to get atleast 134 yards receiving and managed 141 yards, could this be what the Ballers need to win?

"We proved last time that we can hang with Drinkin' and this time, we've put the pieces of the puzzle together and we got these guys figured out. Our offense is clicking and our defense is hungry to stop these guys from going undefeated into the championship game like we did. Look for a huge game from our passing attack and we should be victorious," WR Ryan Betesta.

Spirits are certainly high in the Ballers locker room as one of the biggest games in Ballers history is about to go down. Stay tuned for highlights.
