Legacy on the Line
Flag moi L’sac are the defending Winter champs. They took out The Jamesons last year, and now look to go back-to-back.

Everything’s pointing to a heavyweight showdown for the ages. Both teams are peaking. Both have elite quarterbacks. Both have game-breaking weapons.
Will Flag moi L’sac repeat as champs and complete a 3-0 sweep? Or will the Braves rise from the ashes and reclaim the crown?
