1) Let's start with a Cuse coaches vs Cancer title! Huge wins over #12 Cal on Thursday night and #4 UNC on Friday. Though Cal was banged up and UNC is young, you can't discredit the Orange for going out and absolutely bangin two top ranked teams the way they did. Wesley J is a star in the making and this team just defends. Its only November, but two wins of this magnitude can't help but resonate on the committee come March. Who would have thought, but are the orange actually better after losing Flynn, Harris, and Defendorf?
2) Coach Miller takes his 12 year old B team McLean attack into a huge pre-thanksgiving tournament. Coming off an 0-3 weekend in the previous Coach Wooten tournament last weekend, they had some serious work to do. Last weeks tournament by the way was hosted by the Biship O'connel head coach who has coached the likes of Marcus Ginyard (UNC) and Summers (Gtown). He managed to offer me a spot instantly on his staff after seeing the way I coached my team to zero wins that weekend, but I refused to opt out of my highly paid contract with the Attack.
First game we gutted out a 45-41 victory and had our first win of the early season. Dropped the 2nd game by 12. Needed to beat the Great Falls B team in the nightcap to be eligible for the championship game Sunday. 37-37 with 19 seconds to play and we got the ball of the rebound. Coach Miller does NOT call a timeout as he sees the PG running down the court. First true test of Coach Miller's career. Not calling the timeout paid dividends as our PG who had about 7 turnovers on the day whisked by the defense for a baseline runner with 10 seconds to play. 39-37 Attack! After some smothering defense we got the ball back and executed an unreal sideline play that gave our big man the ball under the hoop off a back screen where he held on to the ball, and the game. Attack go 2-1 on the day, but unfortunately fail to qualify for the championship
game due to point tiebreakers. Tough break, but a great tourny for Coach Miller. Gutsy.
3) Sunday we had our Flag Football Playoffs. Da Misfits was my squad and we had the 2 seed going into Sunday. Speaking of "Misfits" who in this picture does not belong?
After a close semi-final we narrowly escaped 18-13 after not scoring a td in the 2nd half. our defense led by yours truly was truly shut down circa Baltimore Ravens in the hay day. Championship game was a laugher as we blew them out of the water to the tune of 36-13. 3 picks and 2 touchdowns out of me wraps up the MVP. Best WR/Safety in the league....hands down. Also known in the regular season to play a little QB. Brady Quinn, Tom Brady, eat your hearts out...there is a new dreamboat in town.
