Eklund’s Backward Priorities

2016-08-30

Again this summer, Andy Eklund, the Scott Asher of summer league, abandoned his team, the league, and his co-captain. While Mark DQ has cultivated a lone wolf image and personality, Eklund made it markedly true this summer. The once first place Wolf probably won’t change its name, but they may suffer a lack of identity like what happened to Eklund’s last team. Andy’s in the movie business, and this summer, like last, his craft has taken him away. We can’t blame a man for seeking his living, but we might take issue with the timing. At least Andy left us a write-up of that one time The Wolf beat KitKat.

“The Wolf began the evening down a player. Lauren Arnesen was the only woman to arrive on time for The Wolf. At the start of the game, captain’s agreed to a 6-1 or 5-2 offense dictates. Kit Kat received the first pull. The Wolf could not convert after a turnover, and KitKat scored the first point. The Wolf would hold their own until 3 to 3 when one Sara Toguchi arrived. It would be The Wolf’s game from there. Half was 8 to 5, and The Wolf never looked back.

“Massive Huck’s from Ethan Witkovsky rained down for Wolf receivers to pick up, while MUD newcomer Calvin Deng aptly commanded the field.

“You can’t talk about The Wolf without speaking of Danny and Jan, who play their own game in service of The Wolf.

“Mark Andrew and Andrew Mark, the Romulus and Remus of this pack were most pleased with this win.

“The final score was 15 to 8. The Wolf feeds on victory and will sleep well tonight.”
