BA Bites the Head Off a Microbe “C” Undefeated Season

On a warm, late summer-like day, droves of Microbe “C” fans left the city feeling that it was safe to go back into the water in anticipation of a ‘burb beach party at Brentwood Academy. However, the mood quickly changed once the “C” teamers spotted the very large creature BA had in store for them on the opposing side of the field. “That’s a 20 footer,” one squeaked. Another responded “25! And three tons of him.” Immediately sensing the threat, Coach Paolicchi yelled “Nobody’s going IN!” and ran off into the parking lot. This led to the Brentwood Academy creature, sensing blood on the water, easily swimming down the field and scoring one goal and assisting in a second, resulting in a 2-0 BA halftime lead. During the halftime break, Coach Paolicchi told the team to shut off their engines and sang select lines of Spanish Ladies in hopes of getting the “C” teamers back on the bus and back to MBAmity. His “C”-shanty was interrupted by Coach Dougherty, who, after drawing the team’s attention by scratching his nails down his handheld chalkboard, informed them that there were too many captains on this island, and that he was not here for pleasure boatin’ or daily sailin’, he was talkin’ about workin’ for a livin’, and wanted to know who would get into the water, and not be some half-hearted astronaut. Despite Coach Paolicchi’s cries that Coach Dougherty’s suggestions were certifiable and that the BA creature was eating his way right though their line, the team went back onto the beach. With the BA beast not in the 2^nd half starting lineup, Edwards Settle propelled his way down the left flank before casting a cross that Cooper Coleman reeled in for a goal, making the score 2-1. BA responded by putting the creature back into the game, sending all the “C” teamers into a frenzy as they thought he was coming back for his noon feeding. All except for Connor Looney, who informed his teammates that back home he has some sort of taxidermy man, and that he‘s gonna have a heart attack when he sees what he brung him. Looney attacked the creature with such ferocity, that the BA beast not only ran out of gas, but that his entire tank blew up, leading to Connor earning the “C” Team’s first nickname of the year: Ankle-Biting Bulldog (ABB). The rest of the “C” teamers were so inspired by this feat that they demanded that every MBA player pose in the foreground to give the fallen BA creature some scale, which inevitably led the remaining BA players to score a 3^rd goal. This is how the game ended. As the bruised but not broken MBA “C” team paddled their way back towards familiar shores to sign autographs, they compared battle scars and promised that, next time, they would come with a bigger boat.
