Sp16 W8: A Forfeited Finale

Three teams bagged the last weekend of the regular season, preferring the beach, a cracked bell, or perhaps a lover’s embrace. WLHS gave up a chance at first place. BBQ gave up a shot at third. And JAWS sunk deeper into the trench that is last place. In the one Sunday game that was played, Chosen rocked a depleted MTA, 15 to 6.

The seeds weren’t officially set until Tuesday night. All but the 4th and 5th seed had been determined. BBQ (the 4th seed) had defeated The Rejects (the 1st seed) at universe point on Monday. But when The Chosen Ones (the 5th seed) lost to wooloohooshoo (the 2nd seed) on Tuesday, 15 to 10, they also lost their chance at snatching 4th place. BBQ sealed the deal with a 15-11 defeat of MTA (the 3rd seed) on Thursday, and WLHS harpooned JAWS (the 6th seed), 15 to 11, in the season’s last game.

That last game lacked consequence for both teams involved. However, WLHS’s Kevin Hsu needed the win become the final member of the Spring 2016 Centurion class. Yes, Baywatch hit 100. Kevin reached the milestone after 219 games and all of 14 seasons. A frequent top draft pick, Kevin had to wait 12 seasons before winning a MUD championship. Kevin is also perhaps the league’s most journeyed player. He’s had 16 different captains over his MUD career. And rumor has it this new Centurion is setting a course to lead his own team in the Summer. The league should be so lucky.

Hey all, bring your mom to finals. It’s this Sunday: May 22. You can introduce her to Baywatch!
