The White Lightning got beat up pretty good by the Black Jacks, 7-5, 7-4 and then lost 7-6…..but they could have won it, if they really wanted to, I think they just felt sorry for the White Lightening. I got a headache out there watching them run around and pass the ball”, indicated a weary Cribz, “They really could control the play out there”, Cribz continued.
After the exhilarating game on Sunday against the Skip Jacks, I thought the games were somewhat flat, but I still enjoyed them.
The Tomcats brought out three new players to be show cased, Willy has played in the Out Door classic, but Dizzy and Chords were call ups from the Bad Axe Bearcats as two to possibly three players may be needed for the tournament.
It was discovered late last week, that Youngblood is done for the season, with an undisclosed ‘lower body’ injury, which is believed to be a groin strain according to sources close to the the situation. Shamus maybe traded to Ottawa and Soupy is unable to play due to work commitments. All three new comers played very well and all notched a few goals on the night. President and CEO watched the three closely, “I was impressed with all three, I would love to see all three play, but will wait to see what our numbers are come draft night, which goes next Tuesday night, January 31” Stevo had said.
As far as Sunday night went, I do wish to make one correction, Chevy had actually scored three goals on the night, I was mistaken and only reported that he had scored two goals, but he had 3 goals total, 1 in the first game and 2 in the second.
Next week is always a fun night with the draft, while sitting their at the draft table, I plan to put my Harry Ballsonue.
