Losers in 4 straight games 6 Ft Over has been forced to make some changes from the top down. In an effort to stockpile bodies 6 Ft Over has added depth to its bench. Enter Nick Hach a 6'5 rebounding machine with nifty post moves. Brock Ryan also has been able to recover from his weekend benders in time to play in 2 of the last 3 ball games.
With 6 fresh bodies the squad matched up well against team "Josiah" who featured 3 middle aged men shaped like bowling balls and one Adams Family reject with a pretty nice lefty hook shot.
Hach went to work early on Uncle Fester as 6 Ft Over jumped out to the lead. Hasenmiller and Reiners were shocked to find that they were actually quicker than the men that were guarding them and easily drove to the paint for a couple buckets.
Despite their athletic advantages 6 Ft Over found themselves leading by only a point at intermission. It was at halftime that defensive specialist Richard Dengler decided to make a strategic change.
"I want to guard #1," Dengler proclaimed, eager to take on the defensive challenge.
As his teammates glanced at the opposition it was noticed that every single player on team "Josiah" wore a #1 on their back. It was unclear who Dengler intended to guard in the second half.
The game remained close for much of the 2nd half as Hach struggled to get a shot off without being hammered by the 40 something lefty that scored over half of team "Josiah's" points.
Dengler provided an offensive spark with a jumper and a breakaway layup for a 4 point lead. Super sub Brock Ryan checked in and drained a 3 to provide a comfortable 7 point cushion.
The contest never got much closer from then on as 6 Ft Over recorded their first win since week one, 62-47. Up next is Team Barta which most certainly will contain more than one player with a hint of basketball talent.
