Bowling Night

Team 3 Continues it's romp through the Bend City League.
Luke Smith Puts in a dominant performance, stuffs pieholes of hecklers.

On Thursday, April 29th, the Un-named team 3 knocked off the highly touted Red Something or another. The team to be named later, under the steady leadership of player/coach/GM Luke Smith went up 2-nil and never look back. Though the failing light caused the black clad speedsters some miscues in the late going, the good guys slammed the door for a 13-10 victory.

The enthusiastically pro - Red crowd (technically it's Anti-ME) enjoyed a typical display of 'excitement' as Luke blew the glass off the excite-o-meter. The line tells part of the story, something like 45/50, 6 assists, 3 blocks... but is somewhat misleading, as 5 of the turnovers came on the first 15 passes... short pass, huck... out the back... or good...

Reporter: What happened on those turnovers
Luke: I missed.
Reporter: Is that going to be good enough to win another league title?
Luke: Hope so. Besides you're missing the point. The people living near the park knocking back 40's, the malicious fans and their haterade, their not there to see me drop-step-swimmy-swim-do it again shred with the handler cuts. Chicks dig the long ball.
Reporter: At one point you threw it to no one on 3 consecutive possession.
Luke: No one? That was SPACE. I mean, I'm not allowed to cut for my own throws. I'll keep throwing, the team will figure it out.
Reporter: Hows the hand? Rumor has it that you weren't able to throw for several weeks.
Luke: Well it was broken, but miraculously, It healed up in time for last nights game. In fact most of those turnovers were heat checks.
Reporter: Heat checks?
Luke: Yeah, you know. Gotta see if I'm on. rope it around a little. I mean we were up three. Besides, most of those T.O.'s were calculated upwind shots.
Reporter: Isn't conventional wisdom to huck downwind?
Luke: You wearing the cleats? You play your way...

Reporter: What lesson do you think you're teaching your team with all those TO's?
Luke: Cut to space. No Fear. Check out how far I can throw it out the back.
Reporter: Riiiiigggghhhhhhtttt.

Tune in next week for Team No-Name's further exploits.
