Sports Shorts

My lacrosse team started of the 2007 season today with a scrimmage against Kennedy-Kenrick High School. Although it was only a scrimmage, it was our only one before the season opener against Valley Forge Military Academy on Saturday. Thus, we needed to be ready to rock and roll.

The boys didn't disappoint. After a sluggish start, they took it to the Wolverines, beating them by a score of 10-2. Our goaltender only needed to make six saves in the win, and our starting attacker had a total of 7 points (5 goals, and 2 assists). It was almost worth coaching the game with my 101 degree fever.

It other good news, our hockey team keeps rolling. We beat Doc's Inn on Sunday night by a score of 7-4. It was our sixth straight win, and we have only lost twice in the last thirteen games. Randal had another stellar game, and Vinnie set up a third period goal with one of the best backhand passes I have seen in a long time. Badger and Fish were solid on the defense, and I learned an important lesson:

Never volunteer to play ice hockey when you're sick as a dog. I stunk up the joint, but in all fairness, I was also at death's door. Our next game is tomorrow night at 10:30pm.

Finally, our NASCAR Fantasy League is up and running, and after week three, Rachel is in the lead position. (For the record, these standings are doctored, because GOP and College forgot to sit his teams at Daytona.) Hillbilly Horsepower is right on her tail, and yours truly is in third.

My friend Bill is in fourth, GOP is in fifth, RT is currently in sixth.

My jerkass cousin Ray is in 7th - although his team name is awesome - and Randal is in 8th. My Uncle Ray is in 9th, and jLow is our cellar dweller. Don't forget to choose your drivers this week, kids!
