This weekend may be Super Bowl weekend, but more importantly in the world's microcosm of the westside of Cincinnati there is the CYO match-up of the St. Jude Bulldogs versus the St. Antoninus Jaguars/Crimson Sals. For the first five weeks of the season the Jags called out "Roll Sal" until their were felled off their bird nests by the Victory Vipers. Still, the Jags still have their preseason #1 ranking as well as currently being the #2 team in the CYO Western Conference behind the undefeated and high scoring Lourdes Tigers. The preseason #2 St Jude Bulldogs upheld their end of the bargain through week 1, tripling the sad bottom-feeders of St. Catherine. Following back-to-back losses including an embarrassing defeat to Holy Family, the Bulldogs have reeled off 4 straight wins, climbing back to #3. Now it's time for the most anticipated game of the year.
The Sals will have trouble with the Bulldogs inside thanks to the absence of their third leading scorer and leading rebounder Matthew "Bertha" Schneider. Also, Matthew "Ugly" Murphy and Alec "Donohoe" Niehauser will be throwing up their usual three balls scoring an ambitious "combined 45 per game" while Tyler "John Wall Jr." Qunell tries to be a slashing difference maker. Finally, the Jags will be counting on Ethan "Finish" Jackson and Jack "Yak Hammer" Marcheschi to pick up their games in the painted areas of Visi Old Gym with the absence of bertha. Fellow Jags (Sals) Nathan "Sally" Walwroth amd Tank Taylor will contribute in anyway they feel fit after Niehauser and Murphy are done scoring.
The Bulldogs have way too many people to list all the names, but the usual players who make the games include Addy "Chastity Card" Bross who has reeled off 11.5 points and 12.3 rebounds per game over the last 4 contests. Also Zac "Shoulders" Reid brings the pain inside averaging nearly 15 boards a game. Mike "Tons 'O Fun" Paff is the final inside threat, where the Dawgs have their main advantage. J.D. "3-Proof" Schinkal is the biggest outside threat for Jude, but never forget Scott "Bench Press" Miliano, Eric "Skates" Deuber, Tyler "Hansborough" Trame, add Max "Freight Train" Beckham and you have a plethora of shooters for the Bulldogs. Luke "Hair-line" Stowe (despite having no right to make that joke I have and so the past cannot be undone, all who object may leave a humiliating and/or hateful comment on the post or email me...macierross@gmail.com) is a slashing guard whose free-throw percentage numbers around 99.9%. Finally there is Alex "Lax-Bro" Kean.
It is going to be a titanic struggle in Visi's Old Gym this Sunday, many experts have put the line at +3.5 for the Jags, it is going to be a thriller...that's forsure.
I feel that the Hair-line comment was highly inappropriate. You have no right to say that to Mr. Stowe. You are obviously a ruh-tard and probably forgot to put your helmet on while typing that.
