White Vs. Green
Corey

Oh my lord, what a game. I can scantly believe it happened. The day started
poorly. We were getting stuck on the fundamentals. Discs were dropped and
throws wasted. White was all around out hustling us. We weren't coming to the
disc. The stack was as clogged as a warm summer night in Newport. White's
stack was nice and neat. Their hucks more devastating then a nuclear blast.
It hurt I tell yeah.  I scored the only point in the first half for green and
I still wasn't smiling. All in all the entire first half went quick. I
actually think we had one point at the end that was longer then that first
half. Like two feet of snow over grass white smothered us.   They took half
at 9-1. Ouch. I think that's a summer league first. To make matters worse
white had a trumpet and where using it to great effect. Colin was mystified
and enraged. ( Well as enraged as Colin ever gets.) 

I was left speechless at the half. Scott's inspirational speech at half went
something like this. Well ...  It doesn't look good. We need to loosen up and
have some fun. He shook the team to loosen us up. A quick cheer to duct tape
and we were off. Smiles returned and hope was restored.  The details are real
hazy as to who scored when because frankly I didn't think it was going to
matter much at the time. The Screaming Greens played every point like it was
their last because let's be honest it didn't look like it was going to be
take that long to beat us. We were heading up to be the first team to be at
Oliver's before 7:00 pm.  Every person gave 110 % a total team effort the
likes of which I never believed possible. Watch out everyone the green team
has some serious heart. The Screaming Green D was pulling us out of the huge
hole we dug for ourselves. If  we stood on our toes we could just peek our
head out of that hole. Even with our crazy Screaming Green D we couldn't shut
white down and we kept trading points and that was something we could ill
afford at this point.  

The greens close the gap to 11-8. That's where I picked up the score again.
White rallies to try to put the nails in the coffin and brings the score to
15-10 white.  At this point we could see that white was tired but so were we.
Two points. They only needed 2 points. We needed 7. With couple of powerful
lines and chilly playing the Green Machine plowed back some of the snow
bringing the score to 15's. The green line was in an uproar. No longer
feeling the weight of our shackles of exhaustion as much we were able to
punch one more in after a hell point to end all hell points. It was easily a
20-minute point. It felt like an eternity. I watched the disc hucked from one
side of the field to the next and back again more times then I care to
mention. Tempers started to flare which stemmed from the effort everyone on
the field was producing. The hell point ended with a score for green 16-15.
Fresh subs were put in and white scores another quickly with a sweet pass to
Scott Martin. Sixteen all. The  tension was palpable. I couldn't watch and
simultaneously couldn't rip my eyes away. Vet put a nice throw to Kevin who
made the sweetest layout grab. The Greens went nuts 17-16 Screaming Greens.
Cheers were delivered and the green can-can line needs work.. We couldn't
lift our legs , go figure.  Oh, for the first time the Screaming Greens held
the most dominating participation at Oliver's. It's very important. The
Screaming Greens want to thank the burgundy team for leaving early to make
this possible. Kudos to white and green for the tremendous effort displayed
and a game I won't soon forget.
