Today was the final game of the season, though it hardly felt like it since the Quick Dumpers would be kicking off the following season next week. Despite the high morale coming off from last week's win, the team wasn't able to win this game. Though like several of the previous games, it was clear to me that the team was continuing to improve. For one thing, it wasn't a complete massacre on the scoreboard.

Though the team seemed to get off to a slow start, they eventually managed to pick up the pace. The beginning saw a lot of back-and-forth play, with both teams managing to stay quite close to each other scorewise. Eventually though, the other team managed to break away, but as the gap in the score continued to rise, so did the Dumpers' morale.

As the game progressed, practically every Dumpers player "turned it up a notch", playing much more aggressively which resulted in several points. Every play drew cheers. Every play bled passion. Every play was not a quick dump. In spite of the loss, they gave it their all, and held their heads high for the next season, as any team should. Their passion fuels my passion. My passion, is to capture their passion. This is why I shoot.
