We’re already into the third week of the Grifball Spring League and last night my Team HLC teammates and I played two more games. The first game I sat out. I admittedly had a horrible practice before the game, so it was a good decision on the part of our Team co-captain TheHolmcross to go with the players who were lighting it up in practice. The strategy paid off. My teammates easily handled Team Dropping Bombs, winning 8-1. TheHolmcross scored six of those goals. The man is an amazing trick runner.

Unfortunately our second game didn’t go quite so well. We got off to a great start, scoring a couple quick goals, taking a 2-1 lead, and then one of our teammates lagged out of the game, leaving us with a 4 on 3 disadvantage. That allowed Team Patriot to score 3 quick goals on us. Before we knew it, they had scored 5 goals meaning we had no chance to win, since games are played to a total of nine goals. The final score was 5-4.

The good news is that we still hold first place in our division. It’s a very slim lead though, so we’ll need to finish strongly in our last 4 games in order to make the playoffs.

Here’s the stats from last night’s games. I had 49 kills in the game I played but also a ridiculous 56 deaths. I had an unbelievably difficult time with a player named Geof. He was on a roll and pretty much untouchable. I’d say nearly half of my deaths could probably be credited to him. He’s improved tremendously since the first time I saw him in week one.

Next week we face off against Grabity and NeiborKids. We defeated Grabity the first time we played them, but lost in our first game to Neiborkids. Hopefully we’ll come away with two victories. We should as long as we play as well as we’re capable of playing.
