Washington,DC-In a matter of hours, the Racine Raiders will be facing the West Sound Rebels to see who takes home the National Championship Trophy, as Andre Locke and Jacob Taase look to lead their teams to victory.

One of these two teams will be winning their first ever title (West Sound Rebels) the other could be winning their tenth title as they celebrate their 70th Anniversary (Racine Raiders) this will be the epic battle of David vs Goliath.

The Raiders advanced to Gridiron Bowl XIV after dominating the defending GDFL National Champions 31-8 in the Xtreme Championship Game. The Raiders defensive unit didn't give up but 1 score and have only allowed a 21 points throughout the playoffs that is and avg. total of just 7 points per game. Syracuse Strong, did manage to score 8 points but it was to little to late. As the old saying goes defense wins Championships and Racine is the overwhelming favorite to win! 

The Rebels punched their ticket to DC by beating the Blackhawks 26-24 in a thrilling Impact Championship game. The game wasn't decided until  Blackhawks failed to recover an on sidekick hit with just under 2:00 minutes left. and West Sound recovering the onside kick by the Blackhawks and was able to get the necessary 1st downs and run out the clock.
