Black - Moses Brown Tennis Courts 2) Games Last Night: Denim 17 Purple 14 Purple jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead but Denim rebounded and the game was tied at 5 and then 6. Denim though ran off the last 3 points of the half and the 1st 2 of the 2nd half to take a commanding 11-6 lead. The next thing I remeber we were up 16-10 and I was ready to take my cleats off when Purple started running harder and laying out all over the place and clawed their way back to 16-14. Denim though kept their composure and would not allow the purple people eaters to steal their thunder. Burgundy 17 Orange 16 In their 1st matchup of the season, Orange beat Burgundy 17-16. This game was also close throughout and Orange was up 16-15 but could not punch it in for the win. White beat Jade dont know score, report to lsh@cs.brown.edu Green(17) vs Black(13?) by Cory Byrum, Pickles , Olives, Martini's oh my. It was a wild game this past Monday as we start the second half of our RIPUL Season. Black and Green had a grudge match during their first game of the season so I knew it was going to be a rough one that day. Black started the day with some sneaky tricks as they all were throwing around dressed in white near the white team. We didn't think anyone was even going to show up. A quick easy victory for Green. I was already about to start assessing points when I realized my folly. Black was there in force after all. Drats. After much heckling the game started. Screaming Green Mo raced down the field after our first pull to come up with a D block. Then kept on trucking. I threw it to her in the back of the end zone for the score. Black never saw her coming. Round one goes to Green, Black rebutted scoring the next two points and winning the next to rounds. Like a Rocky vs. Apollo Creed title match blows were exchanged back and forth throughout the half to the soundtrack of Colin's trumpet, which for the first time may actually have been appreciated by both teams. It was maddening to watch on the sidelines. Heckling soon took a turn towards the vegetable. Greens became pickles and we cursed the black olives for their ingenuity. The Screaming Greens decided to embrace the name and soon made black regret calling us a pickle. Time outs ran rampant throughout the game and Screaming Green unleashed their Spirit Pickle Wall late in the first half. The wall was all Screaming Green yelling pickle and doing jumping jacks. Amanda one of the Captains on black knew from past experience that food like Doughnuts for example can be a great motivational factor. Seeing the pickle wall in action was so intoxicating that she felt inclined to bolt from the sidelines. Red Rover, Red Rover send Amanda on over. She found the weakest part of the Spirit Pickle Wall to strike and did so. There was a collision but the wall held firm. Great Defense was played by both teams throughout the first half creating a lot of hell points. Defense for the Screaming Greens was spearheaded by Hope and Allen Bonner though everyone played tough. Vet and DeePak had some sweet hucks and were pivotal in breaking the blacks zone. The back and forth half went to Black as they took it 9-8. After the half the title bout resumes and Apollo and Rocky landed a couple of quick jabs. The score kept seesawing. Vegetable heckling reached an all time high. The Greens used their wall to taunt the Blacks by listing all types of pickles. Dill, Kosher, Gherkin, Sweet pickles. They heard them all. It was about this time the Evan approached us and said we were actually an Anti-Spirit Pickle Wall. After much self-reflection we determined he was right and we desisted. But all pickles aside, the second half went rather smoothly, hammers and spinning hucks ensued from both teams. Green ended up seizing the day 17 ?13. Now comes the strange part. After the game hands were shaken and the pickles and olives were united. We decided to scrap the cheer in lieu of a team sprint off. Every member from both teams did the Petros Petros sprint extravaganza. After the sprints cheers flowed freely anyway both teams cheering for the other. The pickles and olives made up then went to grab a beer. The End.
