Day Two.
Our first game was against the USA part of Sockeye.
We broke on our first D point with a nice huck from Taylor L. to Mac.
Halftime score: 7-3, (the actual) Team USA.
We went up 12-7, then gave up 2 breaks before closing it out. The rule for the day is “Contact”. Kurt learns more about doing push-ups for missed contact calls than the actual contact rule.
Final score: 13-10, Team USA
Game two was against Nomads, the Canada masters team.
Cruikshank and Mauro highlighted a crafty Canada masters team. They had a good clam defense that we spent a few points figuring out. Russel sparked a run with a huge layout D on Shank and we got a few breaks to take half Halftime score: 7-4, USA.
In the second half, Chicken hucked to Kurt full field after getting a nice block in the endzone, redeeming a Kurt turnover.
Final score: 13-6, USA
Sockeye USSR beat team Canada during pool play, so we would play a combined Sockeye in finals.
Ashlin started the game off with a deep huck to Kurt on the first pull. Sockeye was loose and made some errors that we were able to convert into breaks. Sherwood hucked to Martin for the first break. Martin later went on to get a huge sky D on a floaty huck. Joel cleaned up a huck with a huge layout after the intended receiver, Josh, collided with Reid at the front of the endzone.
Halftime score: 8-3, USA.
Davide got another point block. Greenwood came down hard on the pull and got a run-through Callahan goal off the first pass. We got another break when Funk got a deep D and Sherwood hucked it to Russel who boxed out a crowd of people to bring it down.
Final score: 15-6, USA.
All in all, a good weekend for the moons, but there is still a lot of work to be done and only 5 weeks until the first games in Japan!
