New Season, New Faces and Missing Some Old Ones
Well, the season is apon us once again. We've had our obligatory practices, and even played a game already (60 and Sunny in February, who would of thunk it). We have welcomed some new players to the team, and nicknames will be coming. Nate is a great addition on attack, as is Jack!! Noah can go both ways, and he can play middie and attack too!!! Alex, Charlie and Asher are all great additions as well. With a brand new meathead at pole in Chris and the return of everyones favorite Naval meathead in Burt, I think we are looking pretty good.
Now of course this is all in a way offset by the lost 3 very important Cooperites. I just wanted to recognize them one more time for what they are and were, and will be if they ever return.
DOM "THE SOCIALITE" TREADWELL : The opposing team always knew when they looked into your eyes that they were in for a long day, and that you had a lot of blood vessels. Your hunger for wins was only surpassed by your hunger for White Castle. Some people use music to get psyched up for a game, and you were no different. Except how anybody can use the Grateful Dead for anything productive is beyond me. Honestly, you were a great goalie and will be missed tremendously by the team. We wish you all the luck in the world and let us know when that hankering for "Bud" light calls you back to the great northwest!!!
AARON "THE MOROSE" SHUITT: Sulking, slumping, always grumbling something about keeping those damn kids off his lawn. Just an all around stick in the mud. Slow, weak shot, terrible dodges, I have even heard the other team talk about going to a 6 on 5 situation and leaving you alone. But seriously...I think in the 3 years he was on the team I saw him sulk once (championship we lost). Always happy, and an absolutely terrific lacrosse player. Other teams would rearrange their gameplane to cover you. Not only that but unselfishly, you took the move to middie in stride and did it very well. Good luck in Maine and hope to see you soon!!
DANIEL "THE SAINT" JENKINS: Loved, respected by teammates, officials and opponents alike. Never said a disparaging thing about anyone, except "He's got no left hand, I hate guys with no left hand, I am going to go out and kill that guy because he has no left hand". I don't think he was penalized very often (Except the occasional 3 minute here and there) and he never got into it with anybody on the field (Unless you count the unnecassary dry humping penalty on T-Homo and the ensuing scuffle). He never said a disparaging word about his teamates, unless you couldn't throw or catch. However, he was one of the most agressive lacrosse players I have ever seen. He wore his heart out on his sleeve on every play and would usually wear his heart out on everyplay. Because he would battle for a ground ball and come out everytime exhausted. For those of you that never really knew him outside of lacrosse, he is one of the nicest, most sincere, family oriented guys I know.
Anyway, we hate to say goodbye, and we probably will see you again. Thus is the circle of life, say goodbye and make anew. Just thought a sendoff was necassary.
