Hey Now   His Hankness

Scramblers come from behind, despite some questionable coaching

Scramblers took on the Canes in a battle of closely matched teams. El Scram fell behind, and played catch up for most of the game until the 4th period, when Hank “Gerd Müller” woke up and tied it at 2-2. Der Bomber then struck again on a breakaway, making it 3 -2. I think Carlo added another,   4 -2. Hurricanes battled back to 4 – 3, making it a nail biter until the final whistle.  This was a fun one to watch as everyone is getting a lot better and understanding the game.  It was our week for snacks, and i must have found the magic juice/fruit/snack bar combo, because i usually had to grab a cliff bar out of a little hand before putting a kid in.  Having a 12:15 game time might also have been a factor with the little scramblers sometimes being more focused on the buffet line than the ball.

Rick was out, so i was handed the head coach’s hat.  It’s hard not to get caught up in the score, especially when its close, because they really do play hard and are enjoying the games.  I hope i got all the kids their playing time. Bye next week, then the showdown with FC Diamondbacks. I hope to get pics up soon.
