Game Summary
WCK started the game with a quick 3 hit by a guy with really short shorts.
I mean the guy probably uses NAIR!
WCK quickly followed with a two pointer to take a quick 5-0 lead over the Celtics. The next few minutes moved slow and Coach Brown started to take action by instructing the team to:
1 - Keep their hands up without leaving their feet
2 - Use their size advantage
Quickly, Skip drove the lane for 2, Kevin scored on a putback and the Celtics never looked back!
WCK had a Matt Geiger looking dude
This dude was talking plenty of trash but the Celtics kept their cool and never responded while he argued with the refs, teammates, and checked the scorers table to see how much he had scored.
The Celtics had a 10 point lead at halftime and had increased the lead to 20 until WCK cut the lead with 3 three-pointers during garbage time.
Key Moments:
Skip forcing the action to the hoop kept the defense on their heels
Derek with a big 3 point play in the second half to help pull away
Joe posting up in the paint and imposing his will
Shaun & Cisco making back to back hustle plays prying the ball away from WCK guards
Skip Cream hitting back to back 3's to seal the game with about 5 minutes left
Kevin with multiple put-backs and strong finishes
Jason rebounding and keeping his head up to find guards better than ever
The Celtics won by a final of 45-34
The Shannon Celtics won their first season opener! The previous seasons the Celtics have lost the first 2-3 games before pulling off 3 game winning streaks.
Other Issues:
The Shannon Celtics have a good relationship with the guy who keeps score but we have had a longstanding bad relationship with the lady who keeps individual information. Last night this continued as she charged the Shannon with 2 timeouts in the second half when only one had been used.
Also, keep in mind that the referrees are quick to apply technical fouls. The team does a lot better when the players talk to the refs a couple of plays later in a friendly way rather than yelling right after the play. Last night WCK complained early and often and it did not help their cause at the line.
Jerseys
The league is cracking down on The Shannon Celtics. The Celtics have always worn their own jerseys but now the league says the team must choose a color to wear from week to week. Please touch base, it seems like most of the team has either blue or red.
Next Week!
NEXT WEEK THE CELTICS WILL BE WITHOUT CREAM/ALEX, AND JASON. THAT PUTS THE TEAM AT 7 IF ANYONE ELSE IS GOING TO MISS THE GAME PLEASE TOUCH BASE SO THAT ONE OF THE CALVARY CAN BE CALLED IN NEXT WEEK!
LET'S KEEP THE SMILES AND WINS COMING!!
