Mikes Green 60
St. Johns Mahons 48
Showing why they are the first team to get to 9 wins, the Leprechauns showed that they are unstoppable while
in the Shire. They are really a team that can put any offensive five on the court and play solid ball and play as a team,
but their defensive showing wasn't all that impressive. After Ryan Terry picked up two quick fouls he went out of the game.
I don't understand why he is their big man. He's just puny. Do a push up or something will you? That's chump change. Their
only big man left was Sean Taylor, and will somebody please tell this man to grow a pair. He plays about as physical as Mr.
Magoo on the boards. Basketball games aren't about being Mr. Rogers out there, elbow somebody for God's sake!
St. Johns, was led by some kid (#23), who is old enough to run for president and allegedly just took out a
second mortgage, and is thinking of early retirement, Pat Mahon and Dick Horn. They aren't a shabby team. It's too bad that
their coach was so old that he wears Depends, puts Jell-O in the oven, and most likely drives with his blinker on. Somebody
put that guy in a jazzy and feed him applesauce through an IV. The full-bearded player who just finalized his 401K and IRA
was nasty at driving to the hoop and drawing defenders to him. Carlski Wanjek dunked from the foul line, proving Bill Taylor
can't hit a high note. Mahon led the team with a Brad Pitt like performance from Troy, but with a supporting cast of an Ethiopian
kid who had skinnier legs than Bobby [Marozzi] and was ganglier than me and other kids who looked like they had other random
handicaps, what can you expect. They played decent ball and had a press that had the Leppers causing turnovers, but the Greens
just have too many shooters and play too hard to lose. Bobby "You're just a kid bob! and I'll beat your fucking ass you don't
even know!" Marozzi played like a true warrior and ran the offense despite hurting his ankle. His play might be due to the
fact that he recently has accepted his father's goatee finally as part of the family and the team. This reminds me that it
is required for at least one referee at every game to have a moustache. Plain and simple. Moustache. Mr. Schafer rock the
house. Get your son to stop lifting before games. Jason Niatas, Matt Kane, Brendan Foley, Tommy Lineagin Brennhauser all shot
well for the Leppers proving once again that they have one of the strongest offensive fronts in the league.
The Johnnies were getting back into the game until the Greeny guards started forcing turnovers, especially
Ronald Jeffries, a fellow Immaculaterean, who played a very stellar game. After Terry got back in the game and started tossing
kids like rag dolls as usual, this one was in the books. Speaking of Terry, this kid has improved his game ten-fold since
the beginning of the season. He is getting my vote on Most Improved Player. On a final note, Papa John's delivery man of the
week, Dick Dupell is growing back Beardy McBearderson. Finally, Jesus will not have died in vain.

Grace White 65 Marks White 30
12/11/06
Not much to write about this one. A couple words could describe this game: blow out, beat down,
but I have 2 words to describe it: absolute schalacking. Grace came out with fire in the first quarter and never looked back
after that. The closest Mark's was is when they were tied with Grace at 4. From then it just went downhill. A lack of communication
and costly turnovers cost Marks the game. Or it could of been because Grace is just that good. They had great chemistry throughout
the game and showed that they can win without a star scorer. The whole team got it done in this one: 3 pointers, layups, put
backs, you name it. They got it done. Their defense was incredible also. They had so many steals that I couldn't even keep
count. And I will just end this report that the game went into the mercy rule because they were getting waxed so bad. Grace
had to stay behind the perimeter. This brought flashbacks to grade school. I didn't think this was going to happen in High
School CYO. Sure enough it did! The Grace Gators are not a team to take lightly.

St. Thomas 39 Cabrini 18
12/10/06
An intense game to say the least. I almost stood out of my seat when, well nothing happened. This was basically
a stepping stone for the Thomas Trojans, who out bicepped the tiny Cardinals. They were basically the Muscles from Brussels
compared to a 2nd grade Ethiopian child, who eats bark to survive.
The game had a few high points don't get me wrong. Cabrini just had nothing going for them. Ksionska with
his unnatural bionicle leg started his season off with a beautiful fall in which his knee brace basked in all its glory. The
simple fact that a sober-looking Roger "beer is sweet" Young was drained of all energy as soon as he stood up off the bench
and was forced to recover by smoking half a pack of Marlboro. Chapman was so trigger happy that he shot while basically in
the bleachers and then started shooting without the ball being in his hands. Nicholas "Cutest Couple Nominee" Woodruff was
so excited to be in the game and open that he flailed around like an autistic kid who sees ice cream next to the basket. Of
course, he shot as good as an autistic kid who wants ice cream would. Frankly, Cabrini is bush league and should be dropped
off the planet. Except for Phil "3 ball" Vancherri or however the hell you spell it, who made an incredible three after having
a very tranquil Shane Nolte cave in his rib cage on an attempt to steal the ball. Kudos Phil.
Thomas seems to be back on the rise. There were a lot of problems for them on the court though. Kovak hasn't
left soccer season behind him with enough footwork while traveling for a lord of the dance show. McCue scored the first four
points of the game without actually moving besides to catch it and shoot it at the net with absolutely no contention. Mr.
Kuebler got T-ed up for making a comment to veteran referee Mr. Schafer about his belly-tickler moustache. Bill Scott, who
is allegedly buying a manzere this weekend, played as sloppy as Horvath at a toga party and if I remember correctly scored
1 for 14 from the field with 4 fouls. The messiah for Thomas was James Domzalski, the other JD, who was unstoppable. He played
point, he rebounded, malicious on both offense and defense. I don't recall his exact numbers but they were impressive to say
the least; enough for player of the week, and definitely to keep him in MVP contention.
The real shocker is the unofficial resignation of pre-season MVP William "I'm happy on the inside" Taylor.
He was disgusted with his team and I quote said, I'm splitting time with Craig MacIntyre, ¦there is something wrong with that.
He is allegedly so upset that he created a wound in the universe which is hemorrhaging all life everywhere out of everyone.
Truthfully, the man already seems tired. Tired of the stress of being a star at two sports, and to quote Deion Sanders, "You
just get worn out and go on being amazing all the time." Tired of internally bleeding from elbows supplied by Domzalski. Tired
of screaming whenever he takes a layup. Tired of a rocky, very publicized relationship with Tara Reid. The man needs a break
and needs to focus on his 800 meter run for coach Bill "Moby" or Mr. Wornom you choose Gould. This story is going to be an
ongoing one for weeks for sure. Bill Taylor is the Barry Sanders of CYO basketball, and much like him is leaving the game
with still so much promise. This is a dark day for America. Michael Tos pray for us.
