At least the tattooed Mudlarks are starting to contribute. Desertdwir is right, that “steal” in the first panel looks more like a mugging, with the Central player looking appropriately terrified.
Good defensive techniques by Bowen: In P1, step on the bottom of the guy’s foot while you are putting him in a bear hug. In P3, stick your left leg out and blatently trip him. I don’t see any officials anywhere-did they forget to show up?
PF Flyers? Red Ball Jets? Many years ago, AD Thorp signed an unprecidented endorsement deal with L.A. Gear. The L.A. Lights model (like most toddlers over the past 15-20 years) is the shoe of choice.
If Milford is stealing passes, why does it look like Central is doing so in both P1 and P3? I’m with desertdwlr and chiphilton… it is a mugging by Milford tat players, probably because they are upset that the non-tat players are actually the productive ones.
@Kaz – Yep, when I first read the strip I thought the dark uniformed players were making the steals. Then on second look I remembered Milford is in their road white(?) for this game.

Gotta love the socks, are they wearing Keds PF Flyers too, or black converse high tops.

P1 and P3; remove the ball and it looks like roller derby.

Actually, I think the Central player is afraid of that big “M” tatoo on Bowen’s arm that appears to be infected.

Oddly, in P1 we are suddenly shown highlights from the Nilford game judging from the uniform. I wonder why Milford never plays Nilford.

38-year-old Cortez Beecher is dominating this game!

Nudlarks looking good.

Maybe they changed the name of the school to match the new aggressive give-up-nil-points defense.

Today’s strip reminds me of a game we played at recess called “kill the man with the ball.”

The new name change makes the Tats obsolete!Let’s not forget Gil’s fantastic coaching job here. took til the last 3 minutes, but it worked.
