National Conference
The Gold Truth versus TJ’s Royal Blue No name Team
Royal is a very solid team! We had a few mistakes starting the game and
we were quickly down 4-1. We traded points after that and got to half
down 8-4. Royal is not super top heavy but has a very solid middle tier
- an advantage in league play. Both teams made its share of mistakes,
but Royal was just slightly more solid in the first half. 2nd half was
a slightly different story. Gold Truth powers up and makes a run for a
come back. Taking advantage of Royal turnovers with a couple of one-throw
scores, Gold Truth pulls within a point at 9-8. Both teams started playing
a few zone points to slow down the man offense, but without much success.
The wind was pretty dead. And in trying to still keep the rotation loose,
Gold Truth probably lost a couple of opportunities to gain the lead. Glen
and Caleb were playing big for Royal and getting a lot of high passes on
both O and D. At 12-11 we had the chance to pull even after another Royal
turnover, but yet another opportunity lost. Royal pulled further ahead at
the end to win 15-12? Maybe it was 13.
So obviously, the rankings should change and the Gold Truth fall from the
top spot. Guess it's up to us to earn it back! Watch out for a better
effort next week!
Stop Greathouse! versus the Czar’s Black No name Team
Phil's Report:
The Czar can no longer complain that he doesn't have a stacked team
with Cole joining his crew this past Sunday. Red had a hard time
getting it going with many turnovers to start which put them in a
deep hole going down 2-7. A characteristic of my teams it seems that
they never give up and Stop Greathouse fought back bringing it to 6-7
before letting Black take half 6-8. Second half started out much of
the same Cole jumping over everyone for multiple scores and Evan
making great cuts moving the disc. Stop Greathouse brought it close
again making it 12-13, but that was the final run. Black wins 15-13.
MVP's Black: Cole and Evan
Red: Alisha, Alex, Adam
American Conference
Killer Robot Pimps versus Grass Disaster
Mike's Report:
It looked like the Killer Robot Pimps were in trouble, since RJ easily
skied me (Greathouse) on the very first point. The Robots though, were
a thoroughly different team from the previous week, and quickly answered
with a 4-0 run, with outstanding play from THE Palmer and Tim. Grass
Disaster though, wasn’t about to roll over, and rallied with a 3-0 run of
their own, tying the game up at 4s. The Robots, though, were able to take
half, with Jack- most notably- making some great D’s, and the rest of the
Pimps taking advantage of turns. Plus, Sarah finally got some relief when
Clea and Marta showed up to carry some of the burden, and that they did
superbly. Half was 8-5, Robots.
In the 2nd though, it was all Robots, all the time. The entire KRP crew
stepped up. Ponz and Laz both got Ds, Eminem (though relatively new)
settled in and made the right reads and cuts, while both Tim and Palmer
made pretty throws all the live long evening. The game- I think- was
closer than the score, but when it was all said and done, the Killer Robot
Pimps clanked to victory with Laz (I think) hitting Sarah for the game
winner. Final: 15-7, KRP.
Silver Giants versus Dalia Lamas
Kevin's Report:
The scenario was very similar to last week's game against Green. The Lamas lost the half 8-5, stayed in the game in the second half, and then tied the score at 13-13 and 14-14 before falling at universe point. Once again Maroon had a large squad--14 players, plus two on the disabled list who showed up to cheer. Silver's roster wasn't as large, but it was very strong from top to bottom. The Lamas' most effective weapon was the huck, with Stone hitting Coleman deep several times.
