Friday Night Legends Board Game

We have the 2014 and 2004 teams already created and game board players around the world are coaching the Gobblers against some of the greatest teams in history.

2004 Mason The Punchers had a great season only losing one regular season game (Ozona) before finally falling in the third round of the playoffs to Holliday.

2014 Mason The Punchers rolled through the regular season without much challenge and continued to shine in the postseason despite a scare by Refugio in the Quarterfinals. They came up one game short though falling to Canadian in the Championship.
