6 Ft Over Receives Drubbing

6 Ft Over took a shellacking last night at the hands of Team Barta. The final tally was 76-51 and there was not a lot of good, or funny news to report. The "lack of a sub" handicap that has gripped the squad during this summer season once again reared its ugly head. Brock Ryan was temporarily suspended for one game due to academic issues. New addition Nick Hach was unable to give it a go because he was still hung over on Tuesday night from a weekend bender.

That left the usual starting 4 who all played well below their "abilities" on Tuesday. Reiners started the contest by missing his first 7 shots from the floor and was embarrassingly scored upon once by a 5'8 shirtless man who took him to the post. Hasenmiller's airball to made shot ratio was about 1:1. Shupert shot 3 of 14 in the paint but did avoid injury. Richard briefly found an advantage while posting up his smaller defender but struggled when for the first time in his young life, he was double and triple teamed.

A Marion cop with an excellent jump shot torched 6 Ft Over for the second time this season (he apparently plays for 2 separate teams). Other than the cop Team Barta had two other solid guards that scored at will from the perimeter.

Next week is a rematch of the Week 1 instant classic against Team Ace. 6 Ft Over fans may recall that Week 1 game in which 6 Ft Over, without a sub, erased a 10 point deficit in the final minutes and held of a late rally to win by 1. Remember, following the close loss a member of Team Ace commented "How did we lose to these guys?" 6 Ft Over will be out to prove the Week 1 upset was no fluke.
