Week Two Player Reports

 

Mark Koll: Now that's more like it!  In complete contrast with his Week One outing, Mark played a wildly efficient game in Week Two.  Granted, they were up against a depleted Red team playing with out their superstar, but it was still good to see Mark back to his stat-stuffer ways.  More importantly, Team Dark Blue showed glimpses of what may lie ahead.  In the second half, Bo's squad was venomous with their passing, finding tons of open looks and easy buckets.  That was the type of performance they'll look to expand upon in future matchups.  Further, Mark looked like he gained a bit of rhythm with running mate George Georgio.  In the past Mark has not needed more than a good hustler and rebounder to be the most dominant force in HatchetBall.  In the past, he's won titles with the likes of Jerry Hahn, Matt Koll, and Luke Assinmyface playing this exact role; Georgio fits the job description, so 2014-2015 may be another trip to title town for Mark.

 

            What's Next: Dark Blue will look to push their record to 2-1 against Team Tierney in a special Sunday edition of HatchetBall.

Matt Koll: This whole Jerry/Matt Koll thing is really starting to blossom for Team Green.  It's still troubling that they struggle to make shots, but if they continue rebounding at this clip, the extra shots created will make up for their poor shooting percentages and absolutely horrendous free throw shooting.  Matt and Jerry are shooting a combined 33% from the charity stripe.  But the ability of Matt and Jerry to crash the boards with such reckless abandon while the rest of the league waits for the ball to fall into their lap is a major advantage for Team Green.  Matt certainly played second fiddle to Jerry in Week Two, but still put up a solid game, mustering a monster 5 blocks in the effort.  Is Team Green already the team to beat?

 

            What's Next: The Green Meanies will likely run their record to 3-0 against a sloppy looking Team Lumberjack (Conway).

Luke A: We all knew the Red Team was in trouble without Steigerwald to rely upon, but Luke almost willed his team to a surprising upset by playing an incredible first half.  Unfortunately, the little Greek engine that couldn't ran out of steam VERY early in the second half and never recovered.  Reigning league emperor Mark Koll buried them quickly and Team Red could not respond.  Luke still put up a solid stat line overall and his young season looks strong: 14.5 PPG, 13 RPG, and 4 APG.  With Steigerwald on the floor, this team looks a lot different.

 

            What's Next: Team Red gets a BYE in Week Three and then returns to action against Team Vito in Week Four.

Jerry Hahn: Playing a particularly angry brand of basketball, Jerry was at his best in Week Two, nearly snagging a triple-double in the process.  While he fell one assist short (10 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists), Jerry impressed as he helped his team with second chance opportunities time and time again.  You have to figure he'll hit a free throw sooner or later, but as long as Jerry stays focused on what he does best (annoying, pestering effort plays) he'll keep Team Green on top of the standings.

 

            What's Next: Team Slime gets any easy one in Week Three against the 0-1 Team Conway.

Dave Troy: This should be an up year for Troy.  It's clear early one, though he hasn't shot the ball well, that he'll have plenty of opportunities to score on this squad.  Besides Mark, Team Dark Blue is pretty light on shooting; they'll need Troy to take and make big shots when he's open.  And Troy has proven himself a capable shooter over the years, averaging about 2 made three-pointers per game over his career.  That should jump to 3-4 a game this year if he finds a good rhythm and shoots with confidence.  He'll be a critical piece if Mark Koll can achieve a four-peat.

 

            What's Next: Troy will look for a breakout game against Team Yellow in Week Three.

Paul Hobe: Well now!  Paul impressed everybody (probably himself as well) in a solid rookie debut game.  Unfortunately, Paul may be on the worst team in HatchetBall.  That's the way it goes.  Still, there's nothing to be ashamed about on Paul's behalf, as his 10 point, 6 rebound effort definitely proved that he'll be a major contributor in this league.  If he shakes off a bit of the rust, I'm sure those numbers will only rise.

 

            What's Next: Paul will get a taste of real HatchetBall competition against the feisty Team Green in Week Three.
