Team Mega Human dominates in season opener

Team Mega Human (TMH) kicked the season off Wednesday against Shamgar, and left little doubt who was the better team.  Dominating in all facets of play, TMH (1-0) defeated an overmatched Shamgar (0-1) by the score of 28-0, and asserted themselves as a legitimate contender for the Men’s Rainer Division #9 league championship.

        TMH quarterback Rob Meussner went 16 for 22 passing (72%), with four touchdown passes, picking apart the Shamgar defense.  But his passing percentage does not tell the whole story, as wide receiver Alex Whitney made three acrobatic catches, two of which resulted in touchdowns.

        Whitney also contributed to TMH’s stifling defense, which completely shut down Shamgar’s offense.  Whitney had two of the three interceptions by the Mega Humans, making it a tough day for Shamgar’s quarterback. 

        “We came to play today,” said Whitney after the game.  “There were a lot of questions about this team’s commitment coming in, and I think we silenced some critics today.”

        The critics may have been silenced this week, but next week’s game may prove to be a real test for TMH.  The Mega Humans will face BTP Scuts (1-0), who soundly defeated Dixon ThyHasus (0-1) 26-6.  That game will be played on Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m. on IMA field one. 

 

Game Ball:

This week’s game ball goes to Whitney, who had a monster day on both sides of the ball.

    Great game this week guys, this week is going to be a tough one. It’s a lose lose in the fact that we are expected to beat the Scuts so if we win no big deal. If on the other hand we lose… I think you see where I am coming from. Robbie you’ve gotta keep those hamstrings loose and take the doctor’s prescription of keystones to the dome. I’m expecting Soft Box to pull out the softest performance we’ve seen thus far (that means parfaits and mini cookies at half time).
