The Alpine Rams‚ hot start didn’t last. After trading blows in the first half, the Wroclaw Panthers pulled away in the second, closing out a commanding win.
FINAL SCORE: ALPINE RAMS AT WROCLAW PANTHERS – 14:44
ALPINE RAMS: FAST START, SLOW FINISH
The Rams‘ defense set the tone early, sacking quarterback Jameson Wang for a 7-yard loss and forcing an early punt. Their offense answered just as fast: a touchdown on their opening drive was called back on a penalty, but Seth Morgan connected with Lucas Davoine for a 4-yard score to make it official. Davoine wasn’t done: he added a 1-yard rushing touchdown to put the Rams level at halftime, making the upset potential clear for all to see. But the second half told a different story, as the Rams couldn’t sustain their first-half pace and were forced to hand the win to the Panthers.
The performance proved the Rams can hang with a contender – now they need to prove they can play four quarters, not just two, to turn that potential into results.
WROCLAW PANTHERS: ONE PICK, ONE TURNING POINT
The Panthers made the Rams work for every yard early on, not finding the end zone until 11:45 into the second quarter, when Jameson Wang found Michael Harley Jr. for a 15-yard touchdown to level the score. Harley Jr. was a constant target all game, finishing with 8 receptions for 120 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The real turning point came in the second half: a Seth Morgan pass intended for Lou De Boe was intercepted by Marko Vidackovic, swinging the momentum firmly in the Panthers‘ favor. From there, Wroclaw took over, seizing a clear lead early in the third quarter and never letting go.
WHAT’S NEXT
In Week 11, the Alpine Rams travel to face Rhein Fire in a revenge game. The Wroclaw Panthers, meanwhile, head into a well-earned bye week, using the time to fine-tune the final details ahead of their playoff push.
