All,

3 of 4 results are in from the season opener of the Jack MacKinnon Marsh
Memorial Indoor League.  Due to time constraints, Team Prendergast and MILFS
had to stop at 6-6. The remainder of that game will be played at a time TBD.
The rest of the evening played out thusly

Crisp (Moss) v. No Comment (Dorer)
Missing early rounders Vivek and Tiger, Crisp benefitted from the gutsy
performance of Chris "Mono" Stevens, who turned in a strong +4 performance.
Neverthless, they stuggled with attendance, and fatigue may have been a
factor
down the line.  No Comment Turned out in force, and the mid-game arrival of
rookie duo Owen and Seitz gave them just the boost they needed.  With
fresher
legs, No Comment guts out a 12-10 victory.  This game also saw a mediocre
performance by Jeff "Jefe" Listfield, who is a very mediocre player.

Browning v. Lewallen
The battle of the unnamed teams came down to experience.  The veteran trio
of
Willie, Joey, and Arthur was Team Browning's bread and butter, with Rudolph
tying the week high with 7 goals thrown.  Willie looks good despite his long
absence and stops tim from hauling in countless AJ hucks.  Team Lewallen
averages only 2 years of HMF experience between them, and the chemistry
fails
to materialize.  Browning rolls, 14-7.  All those who had "Week 1" in the
Adam
Kapor Death Pool lose.  Odds for Week 2 are currently 4:1.

Team Kong Sucks v. Team Lubin
With each team missing two of its top three picks, this game tested the
captains' late-round draft strategy, and was decided largely by some younger
guys.  Team Lubin started with only 4, and dug themselves a deep hole early
from which they couldn't recover.  Thereafer, Team Lubin relied on Captain
Lubin alternating between streaking deep for, and putting it up for Velez
TKS
got an incredible performance from Captain Sheth, who lit up Gordon,
throwing 7
goals.  More subs and more handlers propel TKS to a 14-8 victory.

MILFS v. Team Prendergast
In a game shortened by time constraints, MILFS and Niall's boys battled to a
6-6
draw, with the remainder of the game to be played at a later date.
Highlights
include Mike Joshi tallying 3 of MILFS 6 goals, and the breif appearance of
Will Chen, who arrived in time to play 2 points, and tally 1 throwaway.

Notables: One of Pi's 5 Goals Thrown came after he pointed to the spot for 2
whole stalls.

Each seeing limited minutes, McRae ends with better stats than Will Chen

Kevin Seitz records the season's first bookends to take half against Crisp.

Stories going into Week 2
*Will Pi continue his indoor league career, or does he want to live?
remember,
his BCS crown is on the line...

*Will the arrival of asian handlers take some of Team Lubin's handling load
off
Gabe, allowing him to gracefully exit the race for the Chen/Roebuck
throwaway
crown?

*Can Parth sustain his incredible stats and continue his race with Arthur,
or is
he just a flash in the pan?

*Will Roebuck play his first 2006 Indoor League game with cornrows?
