Score: A 7-4 win for Mac's mouldy citrus squad.
Game Rating (out of 10): 3 - Slow moving, lacked enthusiasm and plays.
Notable absentees: Jacob, Jordan, James, Matthew S., Josh.
Offensive Player of the Game: David. Kept em on their toes.
Defensive Player of the Game: Maciej. 2 interceptions.
Special Teams Player of the Game: Ezra. Good yards.
Pitch and Weather: Cold, and a touch of snow. As per usual during this time of the year, it was darker before the whale could sing its first song. But the insistence to play on such a crappy field is really beyond comprehension. Future games will in all likelihood be played at Gareena, where the school's lights actually function.
Summary: Mac's mouldy citrus squad got the lead, and never looked to lose it. Maciej and Owen split the QB duties aptly, getting their squad to an early and comfortable 6-4 lead. After a brutal half hour of slow play calling and even worse dropped catches, only one more TD was scored. And that was Dave, over his bro Tommy. The game ended when the latter got smashed by the former in the endzone; completely accidental. Quote the Tommy: "[football]nevermore."
Bogus Moment of the Day - Honorable mention goes to Maciej's incredible interception catch, where it bounced off Pat's hands and into the bushy haired Jedi's awaiting arms, but the real bogus moment of the day was the way David passed Robbie. Robbie, surprised that he had thrown his 3rd pick of the day, never looked to actually catch Dave. Dave, without making so much as a deke or a feint, rumbled very slowly past Robbie, who had for some reason dropped into Robo-brick blocking mode. Why he did that, when a two hand touch was needed, is beyond me.
Player Ratings (out of 10, 4 being the lowest):
Robbie - 6; Threw 3 interceptions, and had wayward passes here and there.
Patrick - 8; Defensively solid, providing solid coverage on Mac, Dave and Peter at different times.
Maciej - 9; Incredibly skilled. Makes the game look almost too easy at times.
Graham - 5; Despite his 1 touchdown, he was beyond awful. No one cried when he fell.
David - 9; May not be blessed with speed, but has the penchant for the spectacular.
Neil - 8; Did what had to be done. Solid catch for touchdown.
Alex - 7; Had a couple of TDs on the day, but could have made many more.
Tommy - 7; Got zero service from his QB. Brave defense on brother Dave.
Peter - 6.5; Floated for the most part. Broke up an interception quite nicely.
Owen - 6; Had two passing touchdowns, but was caught out of position on 'd'.
Ezra - 9; Constant threat in all aspects of the game. Came to play.
