Wissahickon
Game two of the fall, unfortunately, same result. The game, against friendly foe, Wissahickon, was an interesting game to be a part of, once again, good enough defense, but not enough offense. Squared highlighted his ability to completely shut down any and every deep throw and French made a big splash in his first game, showing off talents eerily similar to an early Magerr.
Wissahickon is a good team, but not nearly as talented as O'Hara made them look. Jumping out to a 7 - 0 lead, thanks to a healthy dose of uncalled travels (Wilcox, we miss you) O'Hara just could not get anything going. Wissahickon ran a cup defense that O'Hara was frequently out of position to defeat, created turn, after turn, after turn on the Wiss goal line. That close to the endzone, Squared could not cover enough of the field.
It was not until Frenchie and Zak got in the game that the offense showed any life. Zak's solid cuts, and French's desire for the disc became infectious. French scored the first two O'Hara goals, getting on the board, 7 - 2. After a halftime talk that highlighted on calling the travels and fouls, O'Hara started to put it together in the second half. Wiss moved to a man defense that Henkel, Squared and Whitey were able to run a three-man weave and move at ease. Unfortunately, a lack of patience made it difficult to score. After spotting Wiss a 7 point lead, O'Hara managed to score 6 to Wiss' 5, but it was not enough as O'Hara lost, 12 - 6.
Some bright points from the first two games, Zak has real talent and potential, ditto French. Squared is a major defensive force. Ben can be a solid handler. Whitey makes so few mistakes, his game is near perfect. The biggest surprise is Brett. Kid came to play this year and is showing some true potential, great things for this junior. Blue and the GirlSquad are getting mentally ready to play some tough games and make some waves in the spring. As the fall progresses, I am sure that things will start to fall in place and this team will pull together to make a good run at a City Championship, and have some real excitment at States.
