We improved from Week #1 and had it 7-7 leading into the 4th Quarter but, didn't have a very strong final frame...Silver Sachems 8 (0-2) - Gansett Grays 12.
Despite missing some key players (Goalie John Decesere #15-Business; Attackman George Finn #9-Injury; Defender Joe Towers #37-Wife Ill; and Attackman Mark Gough #8) we had a great 'step-in goal' performance from John Tatusko #5. The huddle chant of "1-2-3 Ground Balls" seems to have worked by winning 62.5% last night. The Offense did a great job distributing the ball with goals by Justin Feingold #44 (2), Todd Geraughty #6 (2), Brian Crowley #14 (1), Steve Hooper #19 (1) and a super human effort by Juice #23 who tallied two goals and three assists when he wasn't on all fours on the sidelines puking his guts out - great effort, "Juice"...please don't tell us that's where you got the name. Juice opened a wide margin in the season scoring with eight points on the young season. We owned the 3rd quarter, reeling off four goals, 9-6 GBs, winning four FOs, and completing all three clears but, in the end the defense, who improved their clear percentage to 71% (64% for the season), faced too many shots (8) and man-down situations in the 4th to keep their #11 and #1 off the board giving the Grays their first victory in just their second game as a franchise. However, it was great effort by all and something to build on for a tough opponent next week.
