Handball: Saturday, March 17

16 pax did the right thing and showed up to handball.  4 pax appeared at 0545 for some XL and some miles ahead of the P200.

Conditions: Mid 50s; overcast, but dry

The Thang:

Color Rush: Blues vs. Oranges

Game 1: Without the dribble: Blues 7 Oranges 5

Game 2: With the dribble: Blues 5 Oranges 5

Some very good play today, especially in the first game.  Lots of great defense on the front end to keep things scoreless.  Shakespeare and JD played awesomely in goal; once they came out, then the scoring started.  Faulkner, being both the biggest guy out there and a D1 athlete, had everyone hanging all over him like he was Clowney.  Lapdog was all over the field, making plays.

While YHC really likes the dribble, it is apparently not a fan favorite.  The dribble is a part of the real game and opens up the field, as well as adds a new dimension to play near the goal; nevertheless, it’s use in play seems to be a polarizing thing at Depot.  While it won’t be retired, it might be used a little more seldom when YHC is Q.

-Welcome to Josh Miller.  Age 44 and is a builder.  Former SC Highway Patrolman for 10 years.  Hence, “Ponch.”  Neighbor of Crash and friend of Dog Pound.  We hear the EH had been put on him for some time; glad he came out.  Ponch played very well his first time out.

-Run groups tomorrow.

-Faulkner is moving downtown to be closer to work.  We won’t get to see him at regular bootcamps; however, he promises to continue to be a regular at Saturday handball.
