RJFL sponsored by Whee/SR Play kicked off their season this past Saturday night with 10 games across their two divisions.

The Jewish Link Legends were firing on all cylinders under the bright lights of week one. Offensively, strong line play, masterful quarterbacking and high quality receiver play powered the high-scoring offense throughout the game. Defensively, suffocating pressure from the defensive line accompanied by strong cornerback-play held the opposition’s offense at bay. Overall a great win for the Legends in week one.

The reigning champions, New Hempstead Pediatrics, began their title defense on a strong note, opening their season with a convincing 27-12 win over MorningStar/Ben’s Auto Shop. NHPED’s stifling defense set the tone, piling up four sacks, one interception and one safety. Although the offense took time to find its rhythm, they ultimately did enough to secure a decisive victory.
