Week Two Player Reports

 

Mark Koll: It was tough sledding for Mark in Week Two, as the realities of his new team became more apparent.  This is understandable.  True team character is only revealed in times of crisis.  Playing against a top-tier team, Mark's Grey squad wavered and cracked.  The ball movement wasn't there and their lack of height was beyond obvious, as Cahill the Irish Man-Mountain bullied his way towards sealing the victory for Team Dark Blue.  Mark shot hot and cold throughout the game, but floundered with the rest of his teammates when Blue put the screws to them.  Grey will still be a contender, but as of now, they are hindered by unsuccessful team play, which is troubling.  Because they lack the depth or talent of the other top teams, strong team play is the only way Mark can get his Three-Peat.

            What's Next: Mark has a solid opportunity in Week Three to get back on track against Team Rech, who lost their season opener against an undermanned and underprivileged (but well-fed) Team Tierney.

Matt Koll: Matt went out of his way to make this writer eat crow in a couple of ways om Weel Two.  First, he backed up his promise to score more in 2013-2014 (a promise this writer mocked in the Week One Player Reports).  Second, he beat said writer's team handily in the process.  Matt set personal records for points scored in a game (21) and three-pointers scored in a game (6).  Matt also recorded a double-double in the process, snagging 10 rebounds.  Most importantly, he led his team to a perfect 2-0 record.

 

            What's Next: Team Dark Blue has Week Three off to celebrate their big win, and the good times will likely continue in Week Four against Team Danaher.

Luke A: Idle in Week Two.

 

            What's Next: Luke will look to keep up with the torrid pace he has set for blocks this regular season.  He has such a head-start, it's likely that he will shatter all the existing block records.  If he wants to make sure that happen, he'd be smart to swat as many shots as he can against the likes of Team Dark Green.

Jerry Hahn: Jerry's unintended season opener came in Week Two against Team Baby Blue.  Jerry didn't look entirely focused or comfortable on the court with his new teammates, but when push came to shove, he contributed his usual effort and was a big reason Team Orange grabbed their first win of the season.  He finished with 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists.  The biggest take away from Jerry's first game is that he seems to be a good fit with Spider Monkey, who played like a real first-rounder in this contest.  It's one of the better one-two punches in HatchetBall, but it is unclear how far they can take this team, with so many other powerhouse rosters to deal with.

 

            What's Next: Jerry and company face off against the 1-0 Team Tierney in Week Three.
