While the seasoned vets we just mentioned were paralyzed with fear by the ghosts of their past those, three heroes stepped up and delivered championship performances. Frank and Nicole combined for 5 goals against LBS, Inc. and then went out scored a couple more against the defending champs. T-Rush was essential in both contests as he delivered sweet dimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honorable mentions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Diana and Sam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for being excellent hosts of the Awards Show and putting up with our obnoxious arses. \u00a0They kept it fresh with witty banter, well-timed jokes, and surprise award categories.
