It was sloppy. It wasn't pretty. At times it was darn right ugly, but 6 Ft Over grinded out two victories over the undersized "Booze Crew." It looked like it was going to be a long night when pivot man Aaron Shupert appeared to strain his back after the first possession. Shupert stayed in the game because he had no choice. Already short handed because of Tony Neilands tragic car accident the team had to go with a 3 man lineup due to Brock Ryan's scheduled off week. After playing a gritty 6 minutes in Week 4 Ryan decided he needed to "rest his body and mind."
Shupert struggled in the paint in game 1 but his 5'7 defender was no match for him on the glass. For the second straight week Shupert used his strength and size to dominate the undersized competition. Reiners and Dengler contributed with an odd mix of ugly bank shots that somehow went down.
After all the pregame hype regarding Dengler's commitment to "bang" against female competition he was at a loss following the game.
"It's one thing guarding a man and doing this…." Dengler said as he made an awkward swiping motion with his hands that no one understood.
"I was intimidated man, she scored on me twice."
The "Booze Crew" featured an odd red headed player that sported a white cutoff T and appeared somewhat athletic. He unleashed perfect looking lefty jump shots from all over the floor. Coming out of his hand they looked good but he was wildly inconsistent he would drain one from 25 ft and then come down, shoot the same shot and hit nothing but backboard.
6 Ft Over took special pride in shutting "lefty" down in the second game holding him to 2-9 shooting as they ran away with a 15-7 win.
Next up is team "To Be Determined." Nieland is set to come off the DL for next weeks match up and Ryan is expected back at full strength. It appears nothing can stop 6 Ft Over from taking the tile, except maybe some stiff competition.
