| Goodrow is shooting for The Village Green to score at least one point tonight so his bitter enemy Mojo D — or as he likes to joke, his "bitter enema" — will still hold the record for the second-lowest point total in the history of the NFFA. |

Update: Nov. 13, 2012, 9:30 a.m. CST — The final score of last night's contest between the East Nashville Black Dogs and The Village Green was Black Dogs 147, Green 64. The Green's 64 points is the fourth-lowest total since 2004. The list of double-digit scores at the end of this story has been updated to include last night's results.
HILLSBORO VILLAGE—Barring some kind of scoring anomaly tonight, The Village Green will post the lowest score of the season thus far, most likely finishing with a total somewhere between 70 and 80 points. They have 60 points going into the Monday night game. It will be The Green's second double-digit score of the season, tying them with the 12th Avenue Bakers for that ignominious distinction.
Double-digit scores became a rarity when the league made the switch to its one-point-per-10-yards scoring system prior to the 2005 season. Since then, the Bakers have failed to hit 100 points 11 times. The Corsairs franchise, which was originally called the Southall Block Rockers, was known as the Franktown Silverbacks during the 2005 and 2006 seasons and racked up three scores less than 100 in that time. Since current owner Mojo D took over in 2007, the franchise has registered four more scores in double digits, including the second-lowest score ever of 60.5 points in a loss in 2008 to the Alamo Scouts, who are now known as The Village Green. The Scouts scored the lowest total ever — 48 points — in a loss to the Cambridge Animals in 2009.
The East Nashville Black Dogs and the Fidalgo Island Sea Hogs are the only franchises to have never recorded a score under 100, and the West Nashville Beezlebubbas have failed to hit the century mark only once.
The following is the list of double-digit scores since 2005:
