Thanks to Isaac Johnson for the match summary.
March 11, Marietta, GA
This past weekend, 24 of us (including one spectator and one coach)
headed to Atlanta to kick off our Spring season. Our first game
was against Life University. We lost 68-23 (or something close to
that). Lessons learned? Our fitness is lacking, and the three weeks
we have until playoffs will be helpful in polishing our offense
and defense. Breaking down the game by half, the outcome does show
some sign of improvement. Scoring in the first half was 40-3, and
for the second half, 28-20. We'll just say we had to knock the rust
off in the first half.
March 12, Atlanta, GA
The second game we played the Atlanta Renegades, which happens to
be the team we meet in the first round of the playoffs. Everyone
seemed a bit more fired up on our second day, even though we were
all tired and beat up and everyone had been out the night before.
We started strong and kept it up for the most part, winning 41-19
(or close to that). Our lacking fitness showed yet again, as 2 of
their trys were scored due to "pure laziness" (quoted
from Jason Payne, and echoed by multiple people on the sidelines)
after penalties. A hopeful sign for the team when we head down to
play them again in 3 weeks.
