High Country 55
Huntsville RFC 28
How about the band of misfits who stormed through Huntsville this past weekend. Proudly, we were able to put a hurting on the defending division champion and Division III final 4 participant from two years ago.
High Country downed 9 tries and converted 5 of them (thank you Matty)to really establish itself as the team to beat next spring. Chattanooga was a total fuckup as most agree. Not very often does the whole team play like shit. Usually, someone steps up and saves the day against an inexperienced team like Chattanooga. However, HCRFC cured what ailed us on Saturday.
Anyway, lets talk about the win. Game ball to Tom I am proud to be John Fine's roomate Huntington who ripped off 4 fantastic tries, 3 of which came from outside their 22. When asked about his spectacular performance, Tom replied Are you drinking that?.
Others who contributed to HCRFC scoring machine were Rupert I see green spots Carr who scored two tries, Christain Kenya Cram who scored two tries and Kurt Captain Sarcasm Alexander who scored one.
Our pack proved that quick rucking (sorry Budda, no molasses mauls) and support for their fellow man in the loose can win you 8 out of 10 games. When Captain Paul Growler Cureton was asked about this facet of the game, he replied I'm not sleeping in the same bed as Cheese.
Lineouts continue to be HCRFC's nemisis as aparantly the under 9's youth girls soccer team from Douglasville has challenged us to a line-out competition. For god's sake, throw a head fake or something.
Finally, quote of the day came from two try scoring phenom Kenya Cram when asked about the backs ability to exploit the gaps from anywhere on the pitch: First of all, did anyone take any photographs of me scoring? I centered both tries you know.
