After three games without scoring four tries and the extra bonus points in the standings, the Seattle Seawolves racked up four tries Friday night.
So did thier opponents, the Houston Sabercats.
Besides the four tries (20), the Seawolves added two more tries (10), two penalty kicks (6) and two conversions (4) for 40 points on the scoreboard.
The Sabercats (is that a cartoon character?) added a penalty try (7), three penalty kicks (9) and three conversions (6) for 42 points. All those kicks came from our old friend AJ Alatimu, who departed for Houston after two years in Seattle.
Seawolves come away with two bonus points for four tries and for being within seven points of the winner. Houston gets four points for the win and a bonus point for four tries. That puts them on top of the Western Conference with 18 points.
San Diego’s 27-11 victory Saturday over Old Glory DC gives them five points (four for the win, one for four tries scored) and a second place in the standings with 15 points.
Seattle is third with 14 points.
Look for the top two teams in the Western Conference to pick up more four-try bonus points this next weekend with Houston at Dallas on Friday night, March 29 at 5:30 PDT, and San Diego at Miami on Sunday, March 31 at 3 PDT.
Seattle plays Chicago there on Saturday at 3 PDT. A win and four tries in the Seawolves’ Easter basket? That would be nice.
