Athletics Over the Bears 8-3 for Open Division Championship

The Open Division hosts some of the the most competitive teams in the league. The Athletics who have always been strong,  faced off against the Bears for the  Spring 2022 Open Division  Championship game on a hot Sunday afternoon at Northland Christian.  Coming into the Championship game, the Athletics only had two losses the entire season, both handed to them from the Bears. Despite being the #2 seed, the Bears seemed to be the favorites as the Athletics had not had an answer to defeat the Bears all season.

The Athletics game plan was evident. Come out aggressive and don't ever let up. The Athletics would jump on the Bears early and never look back. The final score was 8-3 over the Bears to defend their Fall Division Title and win back to back Open Division Championships. Congratulations to the Athletics. They are the Spring 2022 Open Division Champions!
