"Cougar Bait" Steam Rolls "Dirty Burg"

Last Friday night, The defending champions "Cougar Bait" improved to 2 and 0 on the early season with a 40 to 18 win over "Dirty Burg" who now drops to 0 and 2. Playing without "center" (we say that word very loosely) Matt Hooper "Cougar Bait" called up Tim Burke from the NBA D League and he didn't disappoint with great on ball defense and stellar offensive numbers throughout the game. Captain Schleicher has named Burkey to the team for the remainder of the season. Dave Martin again shot the lights out from down town and continue his lock down defense on either Chris Brooks or Tommy McDermott, "Dirty Burg" two best offensive players. Brian Hill provided defensive energy all over the court, making big plays on both sides of the ball, while Dave Glassmen continued to lead the league in rebounds. ( I honestly believe he had 25, no lie) Mike "The Plumber" Maloney continued his offensive onslaught burying threes and moving constantly without the ball (LeBron takes notes, you don't need the ball in your hands to make plays) "Dirty Burg" was stopped all night by the veteran squad who played excellent man to man defense all night. Chris Brooks lead the way, even with a cold shooting night. McDermott used his mid range game very well connecting on jumpers all over the court, while Travis Jolly had a solid game in the post. "Dirty Burg" has the potential to be in the mix of things if they can get their season turned around in a hurry. They have the talent and a good set of role player, they just need to gel a bit more as a team. "Cougar Bait" continues to roll on all cylinders going forward, with the added extra motivation of falling in the Commissioners Week 1 Power Ranking to 4th, after winning the title and dismantling their week one opponent. Just out of respect... The defending champions of any league should not lose their number 1 power ranking until they lose... Cougar Bait doesn't plan on doing so.

Things may not get any easier for "Dirty Burg" as they square up against "No ID No Idea" on Thursday nights, while "Cougar Bait" takes on "Dump Em Out."

Martin Leads the Way as Cougar Bait Tramples Kung Fu Panda

The defending champs started the season on the same note as last year. A victory. The score was never close with Cougar Bait having a halftime lead of 20-2. Kung Fu Panda woke up somewhat in the second half, with the game closing with a score of 40-15. Cougar Bait was lead as usual by utility man Dave Martin hitting threes, making key drives to the hoop, and pushing the transition game. Dave Glassmen was a force in the paint collecting boards like a prostitute collects condoms. Kung Fu Panda's fifteen points were mostly from the little three of Greg Ware, Derek Woodworth, and Kevin Traverse. With Week 1 under wraps, the NSHL looks like its on its way for an excellent year 2!
