Wicked good time, huge performance out of the squad - in the 'Ship but came up short in OT. That OT was hard earned - we were down 6-2 and scored 4 unanswered goals, including a buzzer beater by Casey Minick at full time. Stout goaltending by Matt Sommerfeldt and clutch goals by Casey and Clark Akers kept us in it.
Here are some milestones:
1- First ever East Cobb shutout of a team (Dirty Myrtle) - 17 - 0
2- First ever 7 game tournament. 6:1
3- 62 gf vs 30 ga
4- At least 150 beers consumed at the Hog Manor
We were better than the team we lost to - just came up short. We also played 3! games on the day before the Ship - including one "by accident" vs. the Jacksonville Juice. That said, we brought 20 players to Myrtle and I'd say everyone had a damn good time. All pics are here.
