DEFENDING CHAMPS REMAIN PERFECT



 
 
Curtis Martin rushed for 130 yards on Sunday

TITANS - 17              BLUES - 15

It wasn't supposed to be their year, but the defending Champs found a way to win on Sunday. Curtis Martin rushed for 130 yards on 31 carries, but it was fullback Justin Griffin who caught the Everton Blues defense of guard, taking a handoff up the middle for a 32 yard score as the Titans won an ugly 17-15 game over the Everton Blues.
