Genesee County All-Stars 18, Space Monkeys 1
Last night, we took our opponents apart with almost military precision. They were, in my estimation, a pretty good team, possessing a ton of potential, but we were executing in late-season form. It was incredible. We played in our standard formation - two forwards, two middies, two defensemen - with one middie more offense-minded while the other kept an eye back on D. We adjusted to their strategies, communicated constantly, and blew them out of the water. I've never seen anything like it in four years of playing innertube water polo. I know it will get harder, and we must guard against cockiness (which breeds mistakes), but damn. Before I was just blowing hot air, but those poor bastards never had a chance. And we did this without Purman, our goalie; Lubes, our back-up goalie and best defenseman; and Trevor King, master of the backwards shot. In attendence: Barkey (co-captain), Sal, Palmer, Dave, G (filling in magnificently in net), Martel, the Bald Mountain (newbie), Lippencott (newbie), Andy (newbie), and I (co-captain). It was amazing. Let's go All-Stars!
