Press Release

For Immediate Release

The PFOL League office has reviewed and accepted a free agent signing for Team 1. Sam Elmore, AKA "The Elm Tree" has been signed to a 10 day contract. Terms of the contract were not disclosed by league policy.

The signing of Elmore is obviously preparation for a potential playoff match up between Team 1 and Team 2.

"They just have way too much size and we needed someone that can bang with their big guys. Andrew Boehner guarding Greg Smith in the post is not going to get the job done".

"Greg Smith, doesn't care who is guarding him in the post, the result will be the same", said Greg Smith.

PFOL 6 - Week 4 Recap

Team 1 – 57

Team 3 - 67

Indianapolis – Team 1’s Edmound Elzy scored 24 points and grabbed 16 rebounds but it wasn’t enough as his Team dropped their 2nd straight game of the season. Team 3’s big 3 score a majority of their points (Krol 24, Cole 18 and McGuiness 17). Team 3 improves to 2-2 on the season.

Team 1 played most of the game without forward Tamba Samba who was hoodwinked by Eric Cole into thinking the game was at 12:30pm instead of 11:45am. Samba showed up with 7 minutes left in the game and quickly dressed and entered the game but was unable to make a difference.

“I guess Tamba doesn’t trust the email I send out each morning listing the game times. He would rather listen to a player from the opposing team”, said Commissioner Alan Mowrey.

Team 2 – 83

Team 4 - 43

Indianapolis – Team 2 set all kinds of records on Monday during their matchup with Team 4. They scored 83 points (Most in PFOL history), they beat Team 4 by 40 points (largest margin of victory), and they attempted 63 Field Goals (Most FGA in one game). Team 2’s Field Goal attempt record was previously held by both Jake Vernon and Edmound Elzy, both of whom attempted 61 Field Goals separately in one game back in 2010.

Rookie Kevin Murray scored 32 points and had several dunks. Vance Catlin had 10 points and 13 rebounds. After starting 0-2, Team 2 looks like the team to beat.

“They just ran us off the court, I have never been so tired in my life”, said Chris Melby

Team 4 played without All Star Eric Flatt, who missed the game because he had to take a vacation day.

Team 4 Post Finals Press Release

Team 4 Official Press Release – 8/17 PFOL 5 Finals - by Kyle Krol

Team 4’s Front Office wanted to make this Public, before the “Press” posted a conflicting story on the League Website.

  • Team 4 would like to congratulate Team 3 on the comeback victory over Team 4 this past week. Great defense and a solid offensive contribution from every man made this win possible. It was a historic win for Team 3 as Eric Flatt earns a well deserved first ring, and Richie Smith grabs his 3rd.
  • From day 1, Team 4 was labeled as “kinda good.” As league commissioner - Alan Mowrey stated after Draft Night, “You guys MIGHT make the Playoffs.” Team 4 from that point on had a point to prove. Team 4 secured the best PFOL regular season record (7-1) and made quick work with a clean sweep of Team 2 in the first round of the play-offs.
  • Team 4’s front office would like to congratulate General Manager Kyle Krol on a Finals run in his rookie year as acting Manager. He’s set a high standard of excellence this season, that he must be held to in following years.
  • A combination of preparation, hustle, agility, & aggressive D got Tamba Samba, Peter Dinwiddie, Sam Elmore, and Dan Bartlemey to the finals. We wish them the best in the off-season and look forward to joining forces next season.
  • We also would like to thank players who have accepted roles of starting Front Office Franchises in other parts of the United States - Mad props to Mike Weisberg, Chad Lilly, & Spencer Anderson.

Team 4 looks forward to rebuilding this offseason and continuing talks with PFOL-PA President Edmond Elzy, on any changes that might be made in the re-balancing of power of League Commissioner Mr.Mowrey.

With that being said, we look forward to a rigorous off season, and are Shot-calling a repeat Finals trip in the much anticipated PFOL-6

PFOL 5 Finals - Game 2

Team 3 - 54
Team 4 - 41



Indianapolis - Richie Smith didn't play in game 1 and his team got outscored 24-2 to start the game. Richie Smith did play in game 2 and his team outscored Team 4, 17-4 to start the game. Can one man make that big a difference? Apparently so. Smith led his team to a 54-41 win over Team 4 in Game 2 of the PFOL 5 Finals and tied the best of 3 series at one game a piece.

"I'm not going give him all the credit, I'm just gonna say that my shots weren't falling today and I only got to use my patent behind the back dribble drive once", said Kyle Krol. "It will be a different story tomorrow. I am guaranteeing a victory tomorrow".

Tamba Samba was unavailable for comment because he was busy belittling teammate Dan Bartlemay for trying to sub him out of the game.


"Someone gonna get leveled tomorrow. Not sure who it is but someone is gonna find out what it feels like to run into an Elm Tree", said Sam Elmore.


Game 3 is set for 12:00pm EST time Wednesday. PFOL officials are expected a sold out, standing room only crowd.
