"I Played In High School"

10 Jason - Some people don’t realize just how big Jason’s hips are. They sneak up on you when you try to go around him.

9 Billy T - Played well in the first 2 games and even had a pretty end to end play. But in game three he started to show flashes of what he was last week. I don't even want to think of what he would've looked like if we played a forth game, which by the way, hasn't happened in a long time.

8 Brendon (E) - Actually did well switching between defense and wing. Something ward couldn’t handle last week.

7 Jared - Don’t want to put him too high; not sure if this weeks output was a fluke or not. But 5 goals in a game is always an accomplishment. And he was only able to accomplish that feat by humbly trading himself to the other team for the greater good.

6 JB (-1) - “We’re all here to have fun”! If anyone else said those words they would’ve been ridiculed to no end. I put this quote up there with “I just hope my stick doesn’t break”. Borges should be embarrassed. Not just for uttering those words but for not checking the site for WPR every week.

5 Nick (-1) - "I wanna play with Borges"(lots of quotes this week). I hope he had his fill. That was a debacle. Well except for game 3. That seemed pretty fun for them.

4 Johnny (-1) - Those long range goals are tough. I’m not joking either. The ball moves quite a bit. But nevertheless, they are heart breakers.

3 Ward (+3) - The one bright spot for white team.

2 Dave (E) - That one play where he stopped Brett’s first 7 shots before one finally squeaked through really encapsulated the first 2 games. He gave up more goals than Johnny but stats are for losers

1 Brett (E) - Speaking of losers, Brett loses because he’s good. Jared loves to hear people say “Brett’s the best” because that means his team gets better and he can keep firing in shots from 80 feet away. Instead of other players doing more to make the teams even, they keep taking from Brett. Instead of Nick focusing on defense with Papa Meat by his side, he rushes the ball and gives up on plays. Instead of Borges playing high in the slot and using his great shot to score on Johnny, he goes deep in the zone and can’t get back when demaio whips a blind pass to no one, or he just kicks the ball the other team. But apparently all the problems in Saugus get fixed if Brett pays more attention to when the other teams players sub.

Honorable Mention: Mini Meat - I’m not sure if he’ll ever be considered a skill player. Actually I’m sure he won’t. But that back check on Jared was pretty good to see. You can’t get mad at players when the don’t do something they aren’t capable of doing. But everyone can hustle and Pete is starting to be consistent in that area.
