WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS

This is What Saugus Can and Should Be

13 Iggy - Performed almost as well as his fantasy football team did this week.

12 Mike Meadows - Dropped the first S bomb of the season 47 seconds into game 1. Not sure if he was the difference maker in the game 2 trade or Ward.

11 Elliot - Borges blames Brett for the loses in the last two game. I blame Elliot for his Inability to get the ball out of the zone in 23 tries.

10 Jason - I swear he’s always on the cusp of a brutal turnover when he has the ball. But more times than not he throws that thing on net for an easy save. I’ll take it.

9 Reggie - Why can’t he play like that in the HC? Although he did start standing still in game 3.

8 Nick - Looked a little rusty his first game back from retirement.

7 Dave - Seemed to concede a loss in game 1. Played better in the last 2 games. Covered the ball a lot less than I thought he would.......

6 Andrew - Getting more sound on defense. He needs to stop wearing a mouth guard if he wants to take his game to the next level. Only the king can wear a mouth guard and play well

5 Borges - The only blemish was letting Jared get by him. Maybe he assumed the best goalie that’s ever played in Saugus in Jared’s opinion was gonna make the stop. Either way he redeemed himself with that beautiful pass to send Brett in alone.

4 Johnny - “Were trading Elliot for Johnny?!?! That’s a downgrade!!” We’ve been playing in Saugus for 10+ years and people still refuse to admit the simple and obvious truth. There ain’t no such thing as trading down for the king. And it rhymes.

3 Jared - Now that he’s been banned from ever being captain, he can focus on improving the defensive aspect of his game. What a load off. You’ll come to understand how nice it is to never be blamed for lopsided teams.

2 Brett - Being the worst person in the world isn’t that bad. Brett loves refusing to be captain which leads to him being first pick and in turn on a better team. Although that’s with Jared being the other captain. So it’s hard to tell if it’s Brett’s strategy that’s paying off, or just “the Jared Factor”. Keep in mind that Jared does the same thing just in a more whining, crying, stomp his feet kind of way to get the better team. Jared still keeps the most hated player in Saugus title for now. But Brett’s nipping at his heels.

1 Ward - He did what no one else will ever do this year. Score the first goal of the season.

Honorable Mention: Jamie - Jared seems to think Jamie was pretty good, which must mean he believes Jamie had something to do with demaio shooting the ball completely wide on an open net. Jamie was confusing players all night by giving them half the net to shoot at, making the shooter think “it can’t be this easy. I have to pick a corner.” And end up ringing it off the post. At some point during warmups, he forgot that his hips and knees still have the ability to bend and for most of the night did the exact opposite of Dave. His desperation saves should have been neither desperate nor a save.
