Another Nailbiter - If you don't believe me - look at Brenton's gloves

The finger in Brenton's gloves is chewed apart thanks to another come from behind victory by our beloved Ottawa Braves (the parents are thinking of requesting a defibrillator for the stands). Falling behind 21-7 in the 3rd quarter, No. 22 ranked Sterling College had momentum, the officials (goodness, we obviously have pissed off them as the calls were REALLY bad this game - Sterling had 2 penalties all night while you needed a calculator to keep track of ours), the mosquitoes and other flying things (boy, Sterling is in serious need of some bug zappers) and were cruising to victory (with 5 fat guys in kilts standing in the end zone?????). Then, much to our surprise (although now it seems like habit), quarterback Ethan Haller "came out of his coma" (quote by Jake Johnson), our defense came out of theirs, and the fans (and the sideline) got really loud. Speaking of loud, the Sterling football team must also have cheerleader scholarships as they led all of the cheers the ENTIRE game - their fans must have been confused as they were yelling soccer cheers throughout the game. Very odd indeed; however, I would love to see our sideline get that involved (my voice can't stand much more of this - I am starting to sound like a man). When all was said and done, the score was Ottawa 23 Sterling 21 and I had 4 smelly boys in my van headed back to O-Town. I can now tell you about high school/college football, basketball, baseball, and track stories, dodge ball stories, and who is "smokin hot" (another Jake Johnson quote). The boys did decide this team is dominated by the number 5 - last year, their season ended because of 5 points (a one point loss to Friends and a 4 point loss to Sterling) - this year, the last two games have been decided by 5 points (a 3 point victory over McPherson and a 2 point victory last night). Standing at 4-0, Game 5 is next week vs Southwestern - the last time Ottawa was 4-0 they lost Game 5 vs (you guessed it) Southwestern. Here's hoping for a different outcome this time. Go Braves!
