History - Bayside Bowl VII and Bayside Bowl VIII

Bayside Bowl VII was held on February 23, 2013.  The tournament returned to Saturday afternoon and there was lots of snow.  It was the warmest game time temperature in the history of the Bayside Bowl.  We also had the most teams and participants ever.  6 teams competed in a round robin first round and then a single elimination tournament.  In the championship game the defending champions Team Extreme defeated Christ’s Warriors 21-13.  Christ’s Warriors had led 13-0 at one point but Team Extreme came back with touchdowns to end the first half and begin the second half for a 15-13 lead.  Christ’s Warriors drove the length of the field but were denied a touchdown in the endzone in the last minute.  Casey Canfield then scored a full length of the field touchdown to seal the victory, it was his third touchdown of the game and he was selected as the Most Valuable Player.


Bayside Bowl VIII was held on February 22, 2014.  Once again it was held on a Saturday afternoon and there was the most snow in the history of the Bayside Bowl – over 30 inches!  Game time temperature was 14 degrees with considerable wind chills.  There were just three teams competing this year and the 2 time defending champions, Team Extreme, were the favorites.  However, the Well Oiled Machine were reborn in a new form and dominated the first round of play, earning the #1 seed and a bye into the championship game.  In the first round Team Extreme handled Rising Up to earn a matchup of former champions.  In the championship game the defending champions Team Extreme defeated the Well Oiled Machine 22-14.  In a back and forth game the teams traded touchdowns to open the game.   Team Extreme scored again and led 16-8.  Well Oiled Machine scored late to bring the game to 16-14 but failed on the 2-point conversion.  Team Extreme followed by running out the clock and scoring a touchdown by Scott Paulson on the final play.  It was Paulson’s third touchdown of the game and he was selected as MVP.
