Week 2 - Domination
Infusionsoft had the early game, so the setting sun highlighted the field as the players ran through their pre-game rituals, harnessing their amazingness for the game to come. The zebras came onto the field and called the two teams together. The coin flipped through the air, heads... Infusionsoft's first victory of the game.
It worked last game, so why not, Infusionsoft went deep on the first play again. The result? Cheyne glides like a red and white striped gazelle along the left sideline and catches a 60 yard bomb. 6-0 Infusionsoft takes the lead.
"Smooth Air" wasnt going to go down without a fight and they came marching back down the field to tie it up, 6-6. Truly this game was going to go down in the annals of football lore just as the ice bowl, the immaculate reception and now Infusionsoft vs. Smooth Air.
The offense took the field again and put together an awe inspiring drive, chewing up clock and getting contributions from every one on the field, Jimmy, Corey T, Jarrod, Luckey and Graham. Jarrod Morris caught a crucial 20 yard pass to keep the drive alive and then on the five yard line, Dustin Lunt made a highlight reel catch in the corner of the endzone keeping his tip toes just inside the line, doing his best Larry Fitzgerald impersonation.
Infusionsoft's defense came back onto the field and Hobbs, Corban, Daniels, and Hodnett helped shut the door on their offense and give Infusionsoft back the ball. The Infusion offensive team TNT took the field and put together a grinding offensive series that throttled the defense. Dallin and Rob both stretched out the defense to help create inside passes for their team mates. During the drive both Nate and Snyder made crucial 4th down catches to keep the series going and keeping the opponents offense riding the pine. (It must be noted that Snyder's impersonation of the Nutcracker suite may be the highlight of the game, as he spun through three different defenders to get the first down.) Infusion scores again, leading 18-6 and now the defense takes the field.......
Game 1 VS. Warriors
Game Re-cap:
The dust was hanging low, hovering over the dark brown grid iron, barely allowing the stadium lights to peek through the haze. Infusionsoft, 18 strong, took the field in our red and white uniforms with matching black shorts.. truly a sight to behold, but Infusionsoft wasn’t just fashionable…. they were also deadly, they were fashionably deadly.
Infusionsoft won the coin toss and elected to start on offense. First play of the game Cheyne Nelson caught a 60 yard bomb to take the high flying Infusionsoft, to the opposition’s 5 yard line. A few plays later Infusionsoft punched it in and took a 6 point lead. Infusionsoft decided to go for a two point conversion and in ran the conversion specialist Nate Bloom. Like a mighty tree among tumble weeds, he stood tall in the corner of the endzone and with his out stretched arms caught the pass to add 2 points and take the lead to 8.
Now for those of you taking heart medication or become frightened easily, I would caution you to not read further.. as Infusionsoft’s mighty defense rolled onto the field. Like a red blanket of doom, the defense completely shut down the opposition. Infusionsoft sacked the quarterback 3 times, with Cory Hodnett, Dallin Chase and Graham Nelson getting sacks. Jimmy Frost and Corey Thomas swallowed up the middle of the field like an angry swarm of Africanized bees. Michael Hobbs, Cory Snyder, Corban Tenney, Adam Daniels, Jordan Hall, Jarrod Kimball and Brian Luckey were our defensive specialists that swatted passes, rushed the quarterback and made grown men cry. Then like a pair of defensive handcuffs, Dustin Lunt and Jarrod Morris locked up their receivers and prevented then from making any headway. Twice Infusionsoft’s defense stopped the opposition on the goal line and for a time, it seemed that the ‘85 Bears had been resurrected in red and played for Infusionsoft. It was truly a sight to behold.
