Epilogue - Year End Awards

All Rec League 1st Team

C. The Porky Pig looking guy from the team that beat 6 Ft Over
PF. Aaron Shupert
SF. The lefty red head guy who was built like a greek god but had the jump shot of Eric Montross
SG. Richard Dengler
PG. That little wizard guy who played like Steve Nash will when he's in his 70's

All Rec League 2nd Team

C. The 345lb Hawaiian guy that looked scary but was so slow you could predict his next movement before he could
PF. The grey haired guy with the goggles that Reiners floored while going for a rebound
SF. Will Pattison, who had no game but no one else in the league was good enough for this slot
SG. The blonde bombshell that Dengler developed the in game relationship with
PG. That PG that dribbled around with his left hand only and never once glanced at hoop regardless of how open he was

MVP- The wizard guy who played like Nash (I think his actual name is Roger Clark)

Coach of the Year- Jeff Reiners, 1-14 to 13-1…take that Miami Dolphins!

4th Man - Jess Settles look a like (The dude was head to toe Settles. He had a vintage 1996 Hawkeye #4 with shorts)

The AEGON Security Citizenship Award - Aaron Shupert

Shupert was awarded with the sportsmanship award for not being a jerk to a pretty mouthy aerobics instructor. We arrived 3 maybe 4 minutes early for our 6 o'clock game and Shupert poked his head behind the curtain where a aerobics class was being conducted. Instantly the music stops, everyone stops their high leg kicks and the instructor comes marching out. With her hair in a frizzy pony tail and legs covered by pink spandex the instructor let Shupert know that the gym was hers for the next 2 minutes and he was not to interrupt. What a way to deliver a message.

Rookie of the Year- Can anyone in this league really be considered a rookie?

Most Improved Player- This is another tough one. I'd say Richard Dengler who went from getting pounded nightly by the athletes of the competitive league to 1st Team All Rec League in one year.
