With
every game taking place on Sunday this week, the end
of the 2009 season is officially here as only two
teams remain. For one it is familiar territory and
for the other is the first time ever playing in the
Prestige Championship. Tormenta has long been a struggling
franchise but they've had their two most successful
seasons in each of the past two years, capped off
by a 2009 year in which they finished 9-5 with an
incredible 115 points per game average. A II P has
been a little quieter getting to their record seventh
Prestige Finals despite the fact they finished the
regular season 11-3, perhaps because most of the explosive
scoring has come from the 69ers, O's and Tormenta
all season. This is the fourth straight year that
an American League team faced a National League team
in the Prestige Finals and it is the eight time overall
(the National League is 5-3 in those games). This
is the tenth time a Wild Card team will play against
a Division winner in the Prestige Finals. The Wild
Card team has won eight of those ten meetings. Only
four division winners have went on to win the Prestige
title and only won since 2001. Can Tormenta become
the seventh franchise to win a Prestige title, or
will A II P claim their fifth championship? The Championship
Weekends other matchup will be the annual Pro Bowl
with Lake Show's Jake Wallace coaching his first Pro
Bowl against National League champion and second time
coach Josh Martin. The National League has clearly
been the more dominate division this year but the
American League has been successful in Pro Bowl history
winning nine of fourteen including three straight
entering this year.
