Day 235: Ultimate Mondays

(Nikon D90, Sigma 70-200 II @ ~130mm, f/2.8, 1/250, ISO 3200)

First playoff game of the summer season, though it felt like a regular game to me.  As always, games would either be at one of two places, Sunnybrook Park during the evening, or Cherry Beach at night.  You can probably tell where the game took place judging by the picture, or looking at my Aperture/Shutter Speed/ISO settings. ;~)

This week's team was a rather interesting bunch.  Tall hulking folks that liked to make long passes and - in the case of a few of them - trick throws.  It was kind of like a "David and Goliath"-esque match up... physically.

Early on the Quick Dumpers got stung pretty badly by said long passes, but after team captain Lawrence called a time out to outline a solid defense (as pictured above, with Lawrence showing how it's done) the team began to stop the bleeding and start clawing back with a few points.

In the end QD ended up losing, but not before putting on a wicked show of blocks and interceptions.  In my mind, they won, although the scoreboard would disagree with me... but who cares about that right?  Scores are overrated.
