Last nights match between GWW and the Heroes in the BUML was a good one, as expected.
Heroes managed to start the game with 5, whilst both Chaddy and Tomsteve were running to the line. The first point was a bit of shambles really. We played a puppy zone, but whilst Tomsteve joined us, Chaddy was still sitting in the endzone doing his laces... After watching a huck come from the GWW he was quickly up on his feet, whilst I was chasing it down next to Justin. Fortunately the wind blew it to far away from a contest and chaddy picked up to play on.
We quickly broke up and took a lead 1-0. The GWW broke back up wind in reasonable fashion to make it 1-1. Both teams played a heavy zone all night which made handling pretty fun, considering our dumping focus at training the previous day. Heroes managed to get out to an early two point lead @ 3-1 until the GWW clawed it back to be up 6-4. The game was hanging in the balance and Heroes called a timeout. It was a good call for us playing with no girl subs and only 1 male sub. After the time out Heroes started to click. We put some good passes together to rip that cup apart. Meagan found a great distributer role, deliberately hanging back to receive the poppers pass out and quickly off loaded to others streaming past. It was good to see Brad pulling down more long hucks, just now having to work on the next pass : P
After the game GWW said they just couldnt keep up with the green Heroes and that was what got us over the line. We put something like 8 points on in a row. GWW really deserved to win all their placing games. From coming up from the B pool and pushing all the teams they play, I think next year we'll have to watch out for the ghosts. Final score 12-8 to Heroes
