It took all 7 games, but the Amarillo Wranglers won the championship over the Manchester Falcons. Manager Bobby Caruso was ecstatic. "The ownership had a 5 year plan, and I'm just glad that the players and I could come through and make that plan a reality. Even better we got our revenge on Manchester from 2025."

This is only the 2nd championship ever for Amarillo, and the first since 2006, some 22 seasons ago.
