A Week of Upsets

Two season long streaks were broken last Thursday night:  The league leading Suspects lost their first game, and the Red Army picked up their first win (Albeit by default).

The Suspects who were without their two main handlers, took on the Megalomaniacs.  The Suspects seemed unphased by the missing players through the first half as they used a full team effort to reach a 7-7 tie.  At half time the Megalos were issued the “Bayfest Red-card” as two members left the game for a show, leaving the team with 6 players on the field, to battle the Suspects’ 7 .  But it was then that the Megalo’s Nathan Vosbourgh — the team’s lone deep coverage — picked up his game and blocked all long bombs coming his way.  The Megalos allowed only two further points, cruising to a 15-9 win. 

Hungate’s Mom were able to exact some revenge on the Banana Hammocks after losing to them in the season opener.  Hungate’s Mom took this week’s match 15-12 due to the stand out play of Lisa Jones and Lindsay Langstaff.  The ladies had no subs and were still able to provide their team with the offence needed to get the job done.  Tyler Shaw played well on defence in a losing cause.

Pants Party squeaked out an extra time victory for the second week in a row, this time taking down the Huckstables.  The Huckstables’ Jen Thomm played well as the lone marker (or “fish”) in their 1-3-2-1 zone, leading her team all the way to a 14-13 lead, and a game point situation.  However Pants Party held their nerves, and ran the table with the last three points, winning 16-14.

The Red Army receives credit for their first win of the season, as the Bulldogs were unable to field the minimum amount of players.  The game is scored as a 15-0 win for Red Army, who split up their players and had a fun scrimmage with the Bulldog players that showed.
