Tampa, FL - Team McLovin had it's pre-season practice game/cookout yesterday and things are looking good for the new team. The team split in two and had two 9 on 9 scrimmages.
Defense looks like it may be the team's biggest strength. There was an impressive display of strong arms, heads up play and reckless abandon for personal safety when diving to make catches. Some excellent play by female players are giving the team confidence going into the season.
The McLovins may prove to be the tallest team in the division as there are many guys who are well over 6 feet tall. That height advantage could be a key in their pursuit for defensive brilliance as the season progresses.
Peter Gammons of ESPN was on the sidelines watching the practice and was impressed with the team's ability. "Well after this impressive spring training practice they very well could be a favorite to win the division. They have solid defense and several kickers who can be considered deep ball threats. The real advantage though is that they may just have the best chugger in the division and that will certainly help them out. The real story here though is that while they may be a good team on the field they could also be in the running for the Crystal Pitcher."
The Crystal Pitcher is an honor that is given to the team in the division who is considered the most fun and displays the best sportsmanship. The Crystal Pitcher champion is voted on by players in the division at the end of season tournament.
"We are just going to take things one game at a time and go from there" said team captain Kathryn Chappetto. "We certainly had a successful offseason training program and I am optimistic of our chances but right now I am just trying to concentrate in our week one matchup against Team Turtlehead."
McLovins will take the field at 7pm against Team Turtlehead tomorrow night for a game that is sure to be filled with lots of fun.
