BCSO Enforcers Stack Up Wins in the 2025 World Police & Fire Games
BCSO Enforcers are crushing it in Birmingham. They flew in from Brevard County, Florida, and the judges had no doubt—Sgt. Carl Jenkins led his squad to a 59-28 victory over the Brazilian PCDF. Chris Miller, a fearless Orlando firefighter, racked up 12 points. Talk about showing up with the right kind of firepower!
Game 2: The Where-There’s-Forfeit
In the second showdown, the Enforcers forced an outcome that turned into a 21-0 forfeit win against the OTM Rebels. While the score looked clean, the real win was the extra nap time for the team. A quick match or a complete skip—either way, the BCSO squad ended up with a flawless 2-0 record.
Coach Greg Buttrick Weighs In
When asked if he’d feel let down by the forfeit, Coach Greg Buttrick shrugged with a grin. “I know they’re a bit disappointed, but as a coach, your goal is to keep the team energized. More rest equals more kicks in the next game.” He was quick to remind everyone that sports are about momentum, not just scoreboard bounce.
Key Takeaways
- High-Scoring Offense: 59 points over 28*—that’s the kind of dominance that makes everyone brag at the lunch table.
- Effortless Rest: A forfeit win means the squad gets extra sleep—who wouldn’t want that?
- Leadership Matters: Coach Buttrick’s pep talk underscores that a championship runs on morale as much as muscle.
BCSO’s Enforcers are clearly on a winning streak. The next game will keep fans on the edge of their seats—especially the coffee-loving OTM Rebels who now face an unwritten challenge: welcome to the rest zone.
BCSO Sgt. Carl Jenkins: The Triple‑Threat Star
In a spectacular display of dedication and skill, Sgt. Carl Jenkins is gearing up to score a staggering three of his 20 points against the formidable PCDF Brazil team. With his white uniform gleaming like a new recruit’s badge, Jenkins is the picture of precision on the field.
