Log Jam at Top of PFL North

Seattle officially took over the #1 spot after a convincing win over previously undefeated Yakima which slipped two spots to #3 behind the powerful WFL Wenatchee Rams who have surged to #2 in this weeks rankings.  Not to be forgotten is Bellingham which has quietly gone about it's business at #4 and could play spoiler in the playoffs.  South leading Grays Harbor hangs in at #5 while once-beaten South King holds steady at #6 after a no-show from the Vipers.  The "best of the worst" finds itself undefeated and #13 this week and that would be the improving Washington Cavaliers.  The WWFA front runners haven't stepped out of the shadows of the the poor competition in that league which will hinder any hopes of climbing up as all of their upcoming opponents are in the bottom 10 spots of the rankings.  A challenge game with the Portland Monarchs could help the Cavaliers case, but if last season is any indication, the Cavs just aren't quite ready for prime time.  They were shelled in two outings by the Rams and Bearcats in 2012 and declined an invitation to play the Stallions at season end.

The Pierce County Bengals loss to the Ravens last week has been ruled a forfeit loss after it was learned the Bengals did not secure game officials and used coaches and spectators to officiate the game.  The Bengals continue their spiral into the abyss sullying the memory of a once proud traditional powerhouse.

This will be the final season for a legend in the Northwest.  More to come.
