The sun is setting on another AFL season but the hopes are high for next year in California. Red Woods owner, tman0115, promised big changes were coming for his football team and he was correct. After taking ownership of an 0-3 team and basically gutting the roster of high priced garbage and replacing it with grit and heart, the Red Woods have responded with a 7-4 record including 5 wins in the last 6 weeks.
In the last two weeks, a 33-30 overtime thriller over The Dakota Sioux and a last minute 30-27 win over the Texas Terror, California has sent notice to the league by beating two potential playoff teams.
Can the Red Woods close the season with 2 more wins to finally finish a season with a winning record? It will not be because of a lack of effort on the players side. These players know what is at stake. They also know that a lack of effort is your easy ticket out of town as was proven earlier this year.
