Basketball Players Needed!

6 Ft Over, the fumbling mess that once was a basketball team now has lost 14 straight games. The squad that once tore through the Rec League now is 1 and 23 historically in the Competitive League. A move back down to the minor leagues is inevitable. A summer spent playing against the best CR had to offer actually caused the team to regress rather than improve. Jeff Reiners is embarrassed each day when the standings are published with a big zero in the win column.

Next week brings “Big Cock” Nick Hach and team “Dynasty”. The likelihood of the losing streak extending to 17 is high. A season that began with optimism and hope has disintegrated. 6 Ft Over players have yet to start pointing fingers but they did acknowledge being overmatched in every facet of the game last night.

News and Notes :

• Richard Dengler missed last night’s action with a sprained thumb. Richard claimed that he injured the thumb last week against the Premature Shooters. This was amazing given the fact that young Dengler informed the team prior to the game against the Premature Shooters that he was favoring his thumb. The team has decided to require that future excuses from Dengler actually make sense.

• Jeff Reiners was a late arrival because of his day job. He checked into the second game with it tied at 2 apiece. Reiners made his first shot attempt but promptly missed his next 12.

• Aaron Shupert took a tumble late in Game 3 that would have scored a 10.0 in the Summer Olympics. While running back on defense Shupert lost his balance but transitioned into a complete forward roll, then sprung to his feet, dropped into a backwards handstand and stuck the two footed landing.

• In place of Richard Dengler was G/F Michael Jandik who proved to be serviceable. Shupert had scouted and recruited Jandik for the game. Jandik was previously best known for commenting in Yellowbook’s Sweatshop locker room.
