Teams: Robbie, Ezra, Maciej (later traded to other team), Patrick, Graham, Neil and Matthew S. vs. Jordan D., T-bone, Jacob, Josh, Peter and Tommy.
Score: a 18-18 tie.
Game Rating (out of 10): 9 - where did all the defence go, long time lasting?
Notable absentees: James (Guitar lesson), Alex, Matthew C., Danielle.
Offensive Player of the Game: Robbie - a machine; 17 passing touchdowns.
Defensive Player of the Game: Patrick- Made the fewest mistakes on a sad day for defensive play.
Special Teams Player of the Game: Ezra. Punted the ball like nobody's business, it's what it is.
Pitch and Weather: Dusty, but the heat let up from the season opener. The clouds held off on the rain, as if natives stood on surrounding grass, hands spread and pleading, "HOLD dearest clouds, HOLD"
Summary: Quarterback domination on this day. Both quarterbacks tossed 15 plus touchdowns, with Robbie squeaking out 17 to Jordan's 16. Defenses were lost as receivers had career days, with Jacob, Matthew S., Patrick and Ezra all scoring 3 plus touchdowns. The game ended on Jake's 8th blast of the day, a nice snag in the endzone for the once mahoney'd one.
Bogus Moment of the Day - Josh stopping on a dime was bogus enough, but how about Jacob calling him a "little pig" everytime he did it. That's just...what's the word James uses...um....BOGUS, that's it.
Player Ratings (out of 10, 4 being the lowest):
Robbie. - 9.5; Early jitters shaked off as he took his game to an inspired level. Excellent.
Maciej - 7.5; So talented on offense it's not even funny. So terrible on defence it's not even funny.
Patrick - 9; Quietly put up 4 touchdowns, making defensive stalwart Peter look foolish at times.
Neil - 8.5; Ran the speeds up to mach 8, disappointing not a person. Hard to stop all day long.
Jacob - 10; Kept clutching his stomach to stop internal bleeding, but he was beyond belief. Wow.
Peter - 7; Did what had to be done for the most part.
Tommy - 7; Flashes of defensive dominance. Offensively, still stuck in shell.
Josh - 7; Struggled with mahoneys all day long. Made up for it on kickoff returns.
Jordan. - 9; He just makes it look effortless. Runs the offence beautifully.
Ezra - 8.5; Worked hard all day long and was rewarded with a fine performance.
Graham - 5; "Alright guys, I'm off to eat some Sobey's chicken."
Taylor - 7; Again, caught what was thrown his way.
Matthew S. - 9; Runs a very basic U pattern that to this day is nightmares for defenders.
