“A” Final

Saturday Nov 4th at Allison Grounds

2:00pm – TIGERS at NINETEEN PLUS BOMBERS
.
The Tigers, in just their second season, are in the “A” Championship game as the defending “A” Champions. During the Regular Season, the Tigers started the season with a win against the Bombers (14-6) however the next three games (including one default) were won by the Bombers. The Tigers want to keep their “A” title and become the first team with back-to-back “A” titles since 2015. The Bombers, in thier eighth season, have finished in 1st Place with a record of 8-4-0 after winning their last seven regular season games in a row. The Bombers did start the season at 1-4 and then it happens that the default by the Tigers on Oct 3rd started the winning streak. The Bombers are now leaving their 2022 “B” Championship behind and are looking for their first “A” title. This game will be a battle for the Bombers to continue the winning streak to cap the season off with an “A” title while the Tigers want their back-to-back “A” title.

“B” Final

Saturday Nov 4th at Allison Grounds

11:00am – RENEGADES at BANDITS

The Renegades was revitalized in 2022 and now entering their third season going to the “B” Championship game for the first time. Their opponent is the eighth season Bandits in their fifth visit to the “B” Championship. The Bandits are looking for their third “B” title. During the regular season the Bandits won all four games against the Renegades. However, Any Given Super Saturday… a Championship Team will be made! Who’s it going to be…? Who wants it more…? The Renegades? or the Bandits?

Ken entered this 2023 season, his 31st in the SJMTFL, looking to eclipse the 3,000 career points mark. The start of the season he was only 58 points away…

His SJMTFL career started with the Raiders back in 1992. A team his father, Ken Lawrence Sr., started in 1989. The Raiders capped off a 29 season run with an “A” Championship in 2017 which was their 23rd “A” Title.  With the QB Derreck Dixon throwing the TD passes to Ken during his Raider career.

Back in ’99, after I scored 208 points Derreck Dixon said to me that I would get to 3,000 points before I would retire – Ken Lawrence Jr.

At the end of 2017, Ken had 2,825 career points with lots of titles under his belt but he wanted something more that was within reach… the 3,000 career points milestone that was 175 points away.

In 2018, Ken joined the Bombers organization that was started by K.W. Parlee. The Bombers have won three “B” Titles and after each season Ken was getting closer to his milestone goal.

Then on a chilly Tuesday Oct 17th, 2023 evening, Ken’s 31st season and 5th with the Bombers, Ken caught the touchdown thrown by Jon Hachey to put his career points into the 3,000+ milestone.

Congrats Ken!

What an achievement and on behalf of the SJMTFL players present and past, we congratulate you on this amazing milestone.

I just want to thank the present and past players that I played with and against.  Without you all, none of this would be possible. Achieving this accomplishment was an emotional one, just wish Derreck could have been here to see it happen. – Ken Lawrence Jr.

The 2023 Season reached the halfway mark with 6 games completed after the Tuesday Oct 3rd games.
