2018-2019: Week 12 Player Reports

 

Game 1: Team Beave (Light Blue) vs. Team Vito (Teal)

 

            -In the battle of the best buds (Beave and Vito), Team Beave pulled out a crucial victory in a hard-fought game.  Winning this game essentially locked up the two first-round BYEs in the playoffs for Team Light Blue and Team Orange.  Team Beave has struggled to find offense this year in close games, but were able to hit several momentum-stopping shots in the second half to hold off the streaking Team Teal, who had won 5 of 6.  Team Teal will need Mark to be more aggressive on offense when the supporting cast can’t find the buckets; you can be sure that won’t be a problem in the playoffs.

 

Game 2: Team Garmes (Orange) vs. Team Brennan (Red)

 

            -Team Red was considered one of the stronger rosters coming out of the draft, but attendance and effort issues have plagued them all season.  Week 12 might have been a reminder that they could still be a dangerous team down the stretch.  Steigerwald shot well, again, on his way to another 9 made three pointers, but Team Orange made him work for it.  Steady contributions from Jerry and Billy Less Than Jake were the difference in this one, as Team Orange suddenly looks out of sorts after dropping 2 of 3.  It would behoove Team Garmes to at least split their final two games so they aren’t reeling heading into the playoffs.

 

Game 3: - Team Kenny Konrath (Blue) vs. Team Matt V (Dark Blue)

 

            -In the nightcap, Team Matt V outlasted the bruisers from Greek Town.  This game was a delightfully chippy slugfest and it was good to see the Nancy-Boys on Matt V’s squad rise to the challenge.  It doesn’t appear likely, but a rematch of these two squads in the playoffs would be a fitting coda to the bullshit trade they enacted before the season.
