Metropolis versus Grand Rapids
Metropolis started out strong against the 2nd place GR team, with
strengths in ball control and keeping field advantage. In spite
of this, GR scored first in the battle that see-sawed all the way
to the end. In all, GR scored 27 points in the first half. Metropolis
stayed right with them though finishing the half with 4 tries and
no conversions.
Scoring in the 1st half:
Coppernol scored off of a pass from Kreblin after Kreblin makes
a long break down the left sideline. Heebner was in on the set up.
Also scoring: Woodbury, Gordy, Nuts (2nd try).
In the 2nd half, Metropolis started out by scoring the first 3 tries,
getting scores from Davey, Kreblin, and Watters. Davey's after multiple
phases and a long run by Heebner brought them within 4 meters. With
Everyone lined up left, and only 6-7 meters of room on the right
side,
Heebner called for the ball on the weak side and dove for the try.
Kreblin following that try up with a amazingly long run for ...
Kreblin ... who took a 8 man pick from scrum centerfield and ran
(not walk, trot, cab, bus) 50 meters through a flanker and fullback
for a try. Watters got in the action as well, scoring on the left
side off of a fumbled kick by Grand Rapids back 3. According to
Watters (who is very hairy), he stole the ball and ran it 30 plus
meters for a try. Not to be outdone completely, Grand Rapids kept
firing in tries as well. The best (or worst) of which started on
their on 5 meter line. A Metropolis player, choosing to keep the
game interesting instead of score, passed the ball directly to the
previously victimized fullback who in turn took it the length of
the field for a try.
Down by 4, Metropolis had 2 minutes to surge back. Metropolis gets
possession, Renner breaks through off of line out (I think?) down
the center heading left, passes to Coppernol who runs in a few meters
and kicks it into the back of the end zone where he touches it down
for the winning
try (Pedro gasps).
Scoring 2nd half:
Davey, Kreblin, Nuts, Watters (again, accoding to him)
