6 Ft Over got spanked like little boys last night at the Stoney Point YMCA. Facing a team of 6-7 animals led by a lightning quick point guard the out of shape members of 6 Ft Over dragged themselves through 2 straight losses. The good thing is that these were only pre-season games.
6 Ft Over had a few major problems. The first problem was the team they faced had two players who were unable to miss shots regardless of how well they were defended. Forwards Aaron Shupert and Jeff Reiners decided pre game to employ a "Shane Battier" style defense meaning that rather than try to block a jump shot they would stick their hand right in the shooters face. Bottom line was that strategy didn't work. They were able to drain 20 footers with a hand literally right in the face obscuring vision completely.
The second major issue was the other team featured a 6-9 player who played college basketball at Cornell. He basically did what ever he wanted to against a front line composed of a couple of binge drinkers. His performance included a rim rattling 2 handed dunk and a vicious swat of a Justin Hassemiller lay-up attempt.
"He made me feel a step behind man," said Richard Dengler.
"That was because he (Dengler) was a step behind," Shupert said after hearing Denglers comment.
This was only pre-season but it looks like 6 Ft Over may be in for a long summer.
