Please bring water and plenty of it. Do not rely on your teammates. And it is a good idea to drink lots of water BEFORE the game to stay hydrated. 2) We once again had a very nice crowd at Oliver's last night. I must say that having everybody congregate after games to enjoy a cold one and some grub is one of the things that makes RIPUL better than the average summer league. I have been told that there should be $1 Rolling Rocks tomorrow but we shall see. As for the party winner last night, Dave Rosenberg did not report in so I am going to give it to Purple for actually making a decent showing. Good job guys.

(7) Green - Moses Brown Tennis Courts NO GAMES ON WEDNESDAY JULY 4 GAMES LAST NIGHT: Denim 17 Mango 16 Denim had the dropsys all game but played big-time D especially when it counted. Orange jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead but Denim was able to turn up the D and took half 9-7. 2nd half saw Denim leading 15-13 when the dropsys hit Denim again big-time and Orange was able to grab the lead 16-15. However, denim showed great poise and tied it up. 1 point for all the marbles. Denim pulls and on the 2nd throw Bob "the ageless wonder" Yakota lays it all out for the huge D block which Denim quickly converted. Burgundy 17 Purple 14 ???? I think that was the score. No game Report. Please report score to Loring at lsh@cs.brown.edu. Black 17 White 12 (recap by Captain Evan of Black) The Black team somehow managed to stave off defeat in their game against a solid all-around White team. Black jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with a couple of good defensive stands, and then the teams traded points to 4-2 black, at which point the momentum swung in White's favor and they came storm back to take the lead at 5-4. Black took one ofensive point to tie it up at fives but white still had the momentum and went up 7-5 with some enthusiastic support from a fired up sideline. Soon after however it was the Black sideline who got fired up as their team took 3 of the next four points to tie it up at 8-8. Then came a grueling point for half that was so hotly contested by both teams that yours truly forgot there was another half to play. A stoked black defence got the turn over in the end and punched in a short goal-line pass to take half 9-8. First Half play was marked by excellent endzone catches by white's Andy and Leah, both of them scoring one or more times on some good hucks. Chia, Scott, Jeff and most of all Josh played some great chilly offense. The Black team tried to match this solid play with some hard running on both offense and defense. Outstanding plays were made by all, including a nice score by Ben in traffic and a huck pulled out of the sky by Steve Francis (not the NBA player). The second half began with White pulling downhill to Black, I believe the black managed to score that point after several turnovers by both teams, for the next several points my mind is mostly a blank. The game and score come back into focus with White scoring to close the gap to 14-12 Black. At this point black began to buckle down on D with everyone on the team running hard to try to force turnovers. With an intense all around effort Black scraped together the last three points to take the game. However the festivities did not end there as White finshed their cheer first beating black by a hair. They came out with a nice rhyme and plenty of accompanying body motions ending with an invitation to Olivers that many of us gladly accepted. Black, although unable to beat white to the punch, had a strong showing with a cheer based on Michael Jackson's "Black or White" complete with back up singers and crotch grabbing dancers. Not to be out done White then sent Leah on to the field for a series of back handsprings that left everyone applauding. An excellent game well played by all. Thanks White. (another recap by Captain Chia of White) First half was tight for white, Black took the lead 3-1, white came back and had a 7-5 lead, but black took half at 9-8, Chia thought that scouts from the XFL were watching the game when he leveled a hit on Mike Bradley, Mike held on for the score...Black pulled away from White, White could not keep up the intensity from their last game..Great Cheers by both teams, Black dated themselves with a MTV Michael Jackson medley, young boys from the Wheeler school were seen running in fear, as Jeff Petros performed a frightening rendition of the One Gloved Wonder...White performed an excellent Cheer choreographed by Laura Perry, and the coup de grace was the 17 backflips by Leah "Mary Lou Retton" Schaffer Green 17 Jade 10 (Game report by Cory Byrum of Screaming Green) The sun was high and the air was damp. To make matters worse at first I thought the Screaming Greens were going to be savage that day. Fortunately I was mistaken. The Screaming Greens once again expanded their roster to include none other than Tu Pac. Scratch that, it's DeePak. My mistake; I thought he sang too well. DeePak (not the formerly mentioned Tu Pak) was a large influence for us and added another Screaming Green who can run fast, cut hard , play crazy D and of course smile throughout. I believe that covers the entire team except for this mystery player named Allan Bonner. On to the game. The beginning of the first half was tight with Jade and the Screaming Greens trading the first four or five points. Jade opened up their long game with some sweet hucks from Jade captain Fred Orwiller to Justin and another person we just referred to in the war room as The Red Bandanna. The Screaming Green women Amy and Leigh made their mark making several key cuts to save an otherwise crumbling offence keeping our drive to the cones alive. Colin "I like to toot my own horn"Smith stretched out the offence deep and came up with a big end zone score off a time out to help bring us to half. Green took half 9-6. The only play of note in the first half for our writer Cory Byrum was slamming into Megan Nolan catching her in the chin and knocking her to the ground. Fortunately she was ok but she professed to Captain Scott Wiant that this might affect her ability to smile. It didn't. As for me I was fine; just call me Liability. After the half the Screaming Green D was lethal. Key end zone D's were made by Greg, Colin and Mo though everyone was intense. Mo also held a killer force on the line leading to another eventual score. The MVP of the second half was definitely Megan Nolan. She made two D's in the end zone in one point then ran deep and caught a huck from Scott "I don't mind throwing a huck" Wiant. What did she do next you might ask? Throw for the score ?? Better, She called a time out so we could all catch up to her. Good heads up playing Meg. Fred still visibly upset over the ruthless leveling of Megan decided to tackle Cory "Liability" Byrum in the end zone while he tried to catch a nice huck from Kevin Nagle. Both of us were ok and I even managed to come down with the disc. The Screaming Green D held long enough and we were victorious winning 17-10. ( I think.) After the game the cheering ensued. Both teams cheered well though the Screaming Green Teams striking a pose at the end to Fame ( Jade in our case ) and the addition of Tu Pac may have given us a slight edge. I'll leave that for the critics to decide. After the game Scott "I don't mind throwing a huck" Wiant and Cory "Liability" Byrum decided to try to look hardcore by doing some wind sprints with anyone else who wished to look hardcore with us. Jade Captain Fred "Defensive Tackle" Orwiller was still visibly upset over the gratuitous nailing of Megan Nolan plus the attempt to look hardcore and unleashed his hellhound on the unsuspecting wind sprinters. The dog ( who I have preceded to be friends with before the game ) heard his order to attack and did so. The dog proceeded to take me out at the legs delivering righteous justice to the "liability". I ran for my life. Dog 1 Cory 0.
