Welcome back to another fine edition of the Sentinel! As we had all hoped, the weather was finally on our side as the sun shined down on the fields Saturday. I was a little disappointed that Joe K wasn’t there to get his usual sun burn. I guess we will have to wait another week for that. The games were great, the bar was packed with TSLers, and it was just a great time all around. Let’s take a look at some of the games!
D1:
Sticky Bandits 38, Tight Ends in Motion 12
SB looks to be the team to beat in D1 this year, parlaying a Winter Session championship into about as strong of a start as you could imagine. Mike Thomas looked like a man on a mission, finding his open receivers time and time again. Dean Thompson found his way behind the TEIM defense plenty, and looked like perhaps the best player on the field. It has not been the start to spring TEIM had hoped for, but they are working with a new QB and players, so an adjustment period was probably always in the cards.
D2
Untouchaballs 41, No Punt Intended 17
This game was a bit of a surprise, as I think most people pegged this game to be a lot closer. Jeremy Burr was locked in, and throwing dimes all over the field. He was feeling himself so much that he and Travis started to go at it a bit, which is no surprise. NPI was a little short-handed, but Travis won’t let that be an excuse. They just got beaten down pretty badly. Hope we see a rematch here, I will bet it isn’t this lopsided next time.
D3
Vaspian 30, Can’t Touch This 28
Upset alert! CTT came into this game on an absolute heater, so this was not the expected result. A lot of people questioned Vaspian moving up even after a not so great D4 session in the fall, but with some additions from the currently defunct Zack Attack crew, they have some serious athletes. Brian Orzechowki was locked in and the defense stepped up big time. I think the man coverage played a part in this one.
Let’s Get Reckked 50, Degeneration SeXy 40
Defense was optional this game, as can be seen from the score. Scotty Dro and his luscious locks (has anyone discussed his hair style yet, because he is rocking it) was dialed in and used his receivers to their strengths. Katie Keller did was she always does and just catches everything, but they were no match on defense for the LGR crew. Alex Buchlis was sharp, precise and determined to get the win. Dave Baker is a huge difference-maker out there.
D4
Buffalo Vice 53 Puckett All-Stars 46
Another “defense optional” game, but while some might call this an upset (well, because PAS seemed unbeatable) I am not so sure on that. BV is loaded with talent, especially Caitlyn Mason who just might be the quickest female in the league. If BV is locked in, they will be a tough out in D4. PAS had all their players, and Vince moved the ball at will, but in the end, BV made one more play than they did and took home a huge win.
BAADies 60, Travis Henry’s Kids 32
There is no nice way to say this: Langley STUNK in the first half of this game, throwing numerous interceptions to league Douche Garrett Beesing. Let’s give credit where it is due, the ladies for BAADies caught everything, and Garrett was about as locked in as we have ever seen him. The ladies routinely got behind the THK defense, and made easy work in this one. It seems the ladies under Garrett are putting it all together at the right time, and made a statement while doing so.
D5
Gucci 34, Not so Sticky 0
What a beatdown and a statement made by Gucci in this one. Kelly Kane was on FIRE throwing the ball, and her receivers found the openings in the NSS defense all game. Has anyone discussed what a large human being Thomas Fields is? He is also one of the nicest people! Rags was a bit off throwing the ball Saturday, which NSS cannot afford. I am sure they will bounce back though, maybe they didn’t have enough huggie bombs before the game?
Come From Behind 47, TMA 14
The fall of TMA is something I know is surprising a lot of people. I am sure prim will tell you it is because he isn’t out there. TMA had a different QB back there Saturday, and the results were less than ideal. Really though, CFB is continuing to make the statement in D5 that they are a team to be reckoned with. Their tall and fast receivers continue to get open, and Paul LoVullo can absolutely sling it with the best of them.
D6
Southside 43, GrASS Eaters 16
This was a complete mismatch, as Steve Moser was finishing up his last week of not being able to play. The QB for GE really struggled, so much so that at the end they went to Rylee Moser and they went down and scored a TD! QB controversy much?! Southside has some quick guys, and multiple times just outran the defense. It looks like Southside got back on track in this one.
