Losers in 3 of their past 4 games 6 Ft Over has looked nothing like the team that breezed to a 13-1 record last season. Team "Team Guys" were just what 6 Ft Over needed to get back that winning feeling. Last year, if you recall, 6 Ft Over dominated Them Guys in 4 consecutive wins. Them Guys made some improvements in the off season by dumping that immobile, impossibly slow 345lb Hawaiian guy for a sweet shooting tattooed guard named Julio Caesar Vasquez.
Richard Dengler, who during warm ups bellowed at anyone that would listen that he was "shooting all night tonight boys," showed off his new found touch from outside in Game 1. Again powered by his AI shooting sleeve Aaron Shupert showed flashes of his old 1st Team All Rec League self, dominating the paint and blocking weak shot attempts by 5'6 45 year old men.
Shupert credits his new warm-up routine for his improved play. Shuperts strange, but effective pre-game warm-up now involves light weight lifting, a full out sprint on a treadmill and jump roping. All of this is done with West Coast funk blaring in his headphones, a Chicago Bulls warm-up suit on his back and wet spiked hair.
Them Guys came out with a passion in Game 2 and played like they were tired of getting beat down by 6 Ft Over. The aforementioned Vasquez was red hot draining pull up jumpers over Dengler and Shupert 4 or 5 times in a row. The problem was no one else could do anything as Game 2 turned into 6 Ft Over vs. Vasquez. He eventually cooled off and 6 Ft Over walked away the winners 13-10.
The match up with last seasons lone conqueror Cobra Kai is two weeks away but the squad promises not to look past "Sales Prevention" next week.
