Finishing the season in second place the typical fan would have expected their Bantam Black team to be in a tough match up against Cheyenne for the 1st place trophy. Shockingly Cheyenne lost to Bantam Red in overtime and your Bantam Black lost to Yellow in the final few minutes of their first round playoff game.
The Black team playing with a short bench came out fast and strong. They got on the scoreboard first and held the advantage for most of the game. Unfortunately for them the Yellow team, a team Black had beaten consistently throughout the season, got the game to a 2-2 time then put in a game winning goal with only 1:31 left to play. Coach Brian pulled the goalie in the final 36 seconds and the boys did generate some excitement and confusion in front of the Yellow goal but just could not get the puck in the net.
Jason Chipp showed up wearing his new Rocky High JV hockey jacket, very handsome. He played with high school passion, raising his game to a new level. Coaches moved him to defense to replace the ailing Zac Alexander where he became a serious problem for any Yellow player trying to bring the puck into his zone. Jason acted as if he owned the ice in front of his goaltender.
Who would have guessed the Black team would be playing Cheyenne in a game to determine who gets third and who gets fourth place. It must be one of the life lessons sports teaches the youthful players; life isn’t fair.
