Morning MASA, it was a fun night on the field. Here's to next week.
MASSAGE: Don't forget your recovery massage Ahlara International, next to the Lowes YMCA Mooresville. . MASA code for a discount. If you ask nicely Scott Flowers will massage you himself! Nobody ever has said that is fun.
WEEK 3 WRAP-UP
Three Weeks In… and Apparently Nobody Has Told the Defenders
Week 3 is completed, and once again the Fall 7v7 season has delivered exactly what we expected:
Goals. Lots of goals. Maybe we should start using the mini goals?!
We've now reached the point where a 4–3 game is starting to look like a tight defensive battle.
Week 3 brought us hat tricks, five-goal performances, clean sheets, close games, and one or two scorelines that may require a welfare check on the opposing goalkeeper.
The good news? Everyone appears to be having fun.
The football is competitive, the goals are flowing, and the season is starting to develop some proper storylines.
WEEK 3 RESULTS
Real Caguama 4–5 Steven and Friends
We might as well start with a thriller. Nine goals.
Real Caguama put four past Steven and Friends, with Jeyson Reyes scoring twice, while Gustavo Medina and Leoel Medina added one each. But Steven and Friends had Julian Connor. And Julian Connor had three goals. Jeremiah Bush and Derek Chacon added another three between them to give Steven and Friends the narrowest of victories.
POM: Fernando Arteaga – Real Caguama
POM: Julian Connors – Steven and Friends
Steven and Friends are now putting together a very respectable start to the season.
Smashed FC 1–4 Frijoleros FC
Frijoleros FC bounced back in style.
After a difficult Week 2, they came out and took care of business against Smashed FC.
Nic Wilson scored twice, with Francisco Azua and Sakri Kmimech adding one each.
Smashed FC managed one in response, but Frijoleros claimed the points.
POM: Jose Calix Rios – Smashed FC
POM: Juan Epitacio – Frijoleros FC
CCFC Phoenix 4–1 Tossers Reunited
CCFC Phoenix continue to look like a team that has discovered the rather useful concept of scoring goals. Kendrick Reese, Nathan Wilson and Esteban Trujillo all found the net, with Phoenix taking a 4–1 victory. Tossers Reunited got one through John Bejarano.
After the 11-goal explosion against Toffee's in Week 2, Phoenix came back down to earth with a more modest four. By their standards, practically a defensive masterclass.
POM: Andrew Quintero – CCFC Phoenix
POM: John Bejarano – Tossers Reunited
Burnout FC 6–3 Tuzos FC
Alex Stillman. Five goals. Again. At this point, we may need to check whether Alex Stillman has accidentally registered for the wrong league. Tuzos FC actually made a match of it, with Jose Perez scoring a hat trick. But Burnout had five from Stillman and one from Carter Birdsall. Six goals. Three points. And another five-goal haul for Stillman.
POM: Carter Birdsall – Burnout FC
Race City Hooligans 2–1 Toffee's FC
A much tighter affair here. Race City Hooligans picked up a 2–1 victory, with Arath Navarrete and Dominick M. Lucarini finding the net. Toffee's FC answered through Renick Sides, but couldn't find the equaliser. Three points for Race City. A one-goal defeat for Toffee's.
POM: Angel Hernandez – Race City Hooligans
POM: Aniello Marro – Toffee's FC
La Familia 6–0 C-Town FC
La Familia put together one of the more convincing performances of the week.
Six goals. Clean sheet. And Ryan Murphy was responsible for three of them.
Rocky Bravo added two, with Cole Sheets completing the scoring. C-Town FC couldn't find a way through. Football. It's a funny old game.
POM: Deven Poole – C-Town FC
POM: Ryan Murphy – La Familia
Weaklink FC 10–4 Wanderers
Well then. Weaklink FC apparently decided that four goals weren't enough and went straight into double figures. Brian Zuniga scored five. Clayton Reddish scored two. David Turcios-Alfaro scored two. Luis Rivera Silvan added one. That's ten.
Wanderers managed four, but unfortunately for them, they were playing against a team who had apparently confused football with a goal-scoring competition. 10–4. At this point, the scorekeeper deserves a cup of tea.
Real Old 3–0 Mazeppa Legends
ML Forfeit.
Chaos FC 2–1 Got Any Icy Hot
Chaos FC edged Got Any Icy Hot in another close game.
Philip Beasley and Henery Thompson scored for Chaos, while Jarod Roath answered for Got Any Icy Hot. 2–1. Lovely. A football match in which the defenders were allowed to participate.
POM: D Shinio Moradel – Chaos FC
POM: Julio Guerrero – Got Any Icy Hot
Footballers 5–0 Tiburones Rojos
Footballers put together a very solid performance. Five goals. Clean sheet. Five different scorers.
Brian Cone, E Oliva, Andrew Jeter, Chris Mead, Carlos Gonzalez. No one scored twice.
Team bonding exercise complete.
POM: Jehu Martinez – Tiburones Rojos
Highbury FC 4–2 Telameto FC
Highbury FC continue their solid start to the season with a 4–2 win.
Christian Rivas scored twice, with Maurizio Paniconi and Kable Lyall adding one each.
Telameto FC found two goals, but Highbury had enough to take the win.
POM: Cristian Rivas – Highbury FC
POM: Kwahmae Foster – Telameto FC
Mixtiado FC 5–0 Los Mancos FC
Another clean sheet. Another five goals. Mixtiado FC had Issac Riffle and Sebastian Rivera scoring twice each, with Nelson Medrano adding another. Los Mancos couldn't find a response. Who needs the old man slowing you down.
After a 5–3 win over Los Mancos, Mixtiado have now put together another strong result.
POM: Udson Audath – Los Mancos FC
POM: Sebastian Rivera – Mixtiado FC
Unatletico Madrid 3–1 Trash Pandas FC
Unatletico Madrid continue their excellent start.
James Olpin scored twice, Adam Packer added one, and Unatletico took another three points.
Trash Pandas FC found one through Brett White.
POM: James Olpin – Unatletico Madrid
POM: Brett White – Trash Pandas FC
James Olpin is quietly having a very good season.
Perhaps not so quietly anymore.
FCD40 3–2 Sunderville FC
Now this was a result. After FCD40's 13–0 demolition in Week 2, they were suddenly involved in a proper scrap. FCD40 edged Sunderville 3–2.
Travis Bobb, Scott Flowers and Huixtocihuatl Cibrian added one each. Sunderville's Paul Warren scored both of their goals. Five goals. One goal separating them. Much more stressful. Probably much more enjoyable for the neutral.
POM: Huixtocihuatl Cibrian – FCD40
POM: Nick Velasquez – Sunderville FC
FCD40 remain unbeaten and have now shown they can win the close ones as well.
Da Bury 6–3 DC Aguila
Da Bury continue to find goals.
Kenny Bonilla, Daniel Garcia and Daniel Nava were on the scoresheet, with Daniel Garcia scoring twice.DC Aguila responded with two from David Cordova. But Da Bury took the win 6–3. Another nine-goal match. Because apparently that's normal now.
Club Zaragoza 4–2 Velocity FC
Club Zaragoza picked up a 4–2 victory over Velocity FC.
Velocity found goals through Andres Bonilla and Christian Castillo.
Club Zaragoza took control and secured the win.
POM: Luis Marin – Club Zaragoza
Three points and another positive result for Zaragoza.
Brisket Rovers 8–4 Prime Fútbol
Now this was an upset. Prime Fútbol came into this one after a huge Week 2 victory and were immediately reminded that football has a cruel sense of humour. Brisket Rovers scored eight.
Mark Baker scored four on his own. Augustus Savage added two, with Cameron Murray and Ryan James also scoring. Prime Fútbol managed four through Landon Chapman, Greyson Deaton, Carter Wylie and Luis Castorena. Prime Fútbol's defence would like to forget this one ever happened.
POM: Matthew Robinson – Prime Fútbol
POM: Zach Morris – Brisket Rovers
And Mark Baker? Four goals. That's another name to add to the Golden Boot conversation.
Titans FC 3–2 FC Diabolical
Titans FC edged FC Diabolical in another close one. FC Diabolical had two goals from Sean Swaverly. Titans FC answered through Justin Deffenbaugh and two from Jackson Baker. 3–2. Five goals. One point separating the teams on the scoreboard. And another game where someone probably said: "Just see the game out."
POM: Sean Swaverly – FC Diabolical
POM: Jackson Baker – Titans FC
Healthy amount of questionable defending. Or, some brilliant attacking play?! That's what makes this league fun. Teams are finding their form, new players are stepping up, the Golden Boot race is getting interesting, and every week seems to produce another ridiculous scoreline. Keep competing. Keep the sportsmanship high. Keep the yellow cards low. And, once again... PLEASE STRETCH. Your hamstrings have now been warned.
Thank you for making the league what it is!
