Sonicbids, undefeated 2009!
by sonicbids - 09/16/09
Sun set over the Boston Common like a beacon - calling Sonicbids towards victory and an undefeated season. As dusk fell, the Circle Rules Football pitch held the pale glow of destiny. The Sonicbids team stood poised and ready to etch their story in the history books.
The whistle blew; the team was a mere 30 minutes away. Jim Schultz was a man possessed. Diving and dribbling from underneath his trademark haircut (or lack thereof), fighting on blindly even when his glasses tumbled to the field. David Ellis fought on through early penalties, proving that playing by the rules is not a part of his personal brand.
Benjy Kantor was a ringer. Week in and week out he’s applied the type of athletic prowess that can only be gained at Jewish summer camp, where the toilsome training never stops and the competition is fierce. Steve Canfield placed his own personal wellbeing on the line to score a handful of goals, proving that he takes things like this way too seriously. Jeff Goodman came at the opposing side like a spider monkey. James Laurenti’s defense was impregnable. Pending additional research, Matt Gillette might be the Pistol Pete of Circle Rules Football.
And then there was Heidi Lasker. Drawing comparisons to some combination between Michael Jordan (circa 1982), Pele, Moonlight Graham, Pete Rose (not gambling), that kid in the Mighty Ducks with the knuckle puck, Johnny Damon (pre-haircut), Rudy, and Sparky Anderson. Yeah, she threw down… hard.
Shoebuy was the most formidable opponent the team had seen. Sweat poured. Goals were scored. Hearts pounded. Canfield made a damn fool of himself. And yet:
Five minutes left. 6-1 Sonicbids Cue Music: The Final Countdown, Europe
Final whistle. 7-1 Sonicbids Cue Music: We are the Champions
