Mercer A-League Semifinals

Big Stick vs. Illuminati

Mellen and I showed up early tonight to get some work on the agility ladder. If you can get some time with one of these, I highly recommend it. They are a fun way to improve your footwork and balance while in motion. There are so many different drills and variations that every workout is different.

After that, we spent some time throwing and getting ready for the semis which ended up being some sort of Dickensian Pike Past, Present, and Future affair. Big Stick definitely represents the Ghost of Pike Past with me, Walt, MJ, JT, Billy Kiefer and B-Lo out there on the line, although we also have Spanish, definitely a rising star on Pike's current roster. Illuminati's connection to the past was limited to Dusty Rhodes, but Pike Present and Future where well represented by Raph, Jake (the Jake), Ross, Bo Li, and, M.I.A. for the semis, Tom Quayne & Will Reed.

They definitely had talent to spare and took it to us early and often. However, Pike Past's big game experience (let's just say that summer league semis doesn't qualify as a big game for most of us) and hard-earned confidence proved too much in the end as we were able to overcome a 12-10 deficit and steal the win 15-13.
