6 Ft Over notched their 2nd win of the season over Team Yellowbook Tuesday night at Stony Point. In a game marred by excessive fouling 6 Ft Over pulled away in the 2nd half to a fairly easy victory.
Tuesdays game was the second straight played without former starting swing man Richard “Dick” Dengler.
Richard has determined that pursuing a degree in child development that will send him right to the end of the unemployment line, is more important than Tuesday night recreational basketball.
Dengler’s defensive presence was missed in the 1st half as Yellowbook stayed close due to the play of their bald guard Don Carlson. Carlson deftly sliced through 6 Ft Over’s defense and dropped in multiple long range bombs that kept Yellowbook within a point or two the entire 1st half.
An unfortunate trend has developed during recent 6 Ft Over contests. Some of the lesser skilled teams that can’t match 6 Ft Over’s below average athleticism and size, have resorted to committing an unusually high amount of fouls. Nick Hach usually bears the brunt of the contact as he is routinely mauled by 3 or 4 players at a time who all expressive extreme frustration when fouls are called. One particularly humorous strategy deployed Tuesday was to match an overweight 5’6 guy wearing a worn out Jordan Wizards jersey against the taller Hach. Play was stopped several possessions in a row as Yellowbook intentionally fouled play after play.
Yellowbook’s best player Carlson left at halftime to attend a bachelor party and his team quickly fell apart. Without Carlson Yellowbook’s offense became completely bogged down and shots they were making in the 1st half started falling short. Their defense could not stop back cutting in the 2nd half as Hasenmiller and Shupert routinely beat their man back door for easy lay ups. As the flood gates opened Nick Hach found time to throw down 4 monster dunks in the 2nd half over his talentless muscle bound defender.
6 Ft Over found themselves in an unusual position when they chose to milk the clock in the closing minutes. Yellowbook threw in a few garbage time buckets that made the final score a respectable 84-70.
NOTES : 6 Ft Over made a quick roster move Tuesday night when they added a free agent who goes by the name “Charlie”. Charlie will replace Richard Dengler in the lineup starting next week. Not much is known about Charlie except he isn’t good enough to play on Hach’s “other” pickup basketball team.
