Having now watched the Mounties play 4 games, this is a very interesting team and somewhat difficult to get a handle on. During their first 2 games this was a team that couldn’t stop a fast-break if their lives depended on it and they had no fast-break to speak of for themselves. In their last 2 games they’ve smothered their opposition all over the floor, effectively eliminating any fast-break while at the same time getting stronger and stronger with their own fast-break game.
Mounties (6) vs. Knights (5)Well it wasn’t pretty on the offensive side of the ball, but defensively both teams showed up to play and for the Mounties, it was enough to get their first win of the season bringing them to 1 – 2 and a quick turnaround with a Sunday game up in Edmonton against the 2009 league champion Eclipse.
Every night is a great night for lacrosse, but there’s something about a Friday that brings out the best of the Jr A league and tonight should be no different with 2 key games on deck.
