HOSTS AWAIT AFTER SECOND WIN
Kinzar is one of seventeen teams to be 2-0, which was something that would happen mathematically after two games of a 68-team Casaran schedule, after another solid win. Playing at Royal Park, as opposed to the Royal Stadium, the transformed baseball stadium was not sold out, but still boasted a pretty good attendance. Saintland fans seem to be coming out to more then just the games involving the local team, as it did not appear as though there was a strong amount of fans from either team in attendance. Though once again for all of those Kinzites who are brave enough to tackle the ridiculous law about not being able to rent a car, your country thanks you.
One of the stories surrounding the Wildcats opening win were comments made by “Touchdown” Scottie Brown, so prior to this game, a young reporter asked him if he regretted what he said and mentioned the response that the Concord Heights Times had published. Brown emphasized that he is just having fun but did mean what he said, and that he hopes Kinzar can “show up more chicks” on the field. Nassau-Hessen had schooled a group of German Shepherds 51-0, and Brown noted that “I credit the dogs for showing up, but we will provide much greater opposition. I think even little Shannon Jackson there could cover a dog. You do that, honey.”
Right away, Kinzar showed that they would be a more challenging opponent, sacking Trevor Lampman and his unusual #22 for a quarterback, two times, that led to a safety. Then just two plays after receiving possession, Matthew Lanier, and his more conventional #4 for a quarter, hoisted a 40-yard TD pass to Jeremiah MacIlwaine to make it 9-0 in favor of the Wildcats. Nassau-Hessen did respond on a possession that bridged the first and second quarters, with Walt Tino and his ‘why the hell is he wearing #06', punching it in from 4-yards, a drive in which the Wildcats responded with a field goal. Then, while running the two-minute drill before halftime, Kinzar’s starting halfback, JackStackhouse, wearing a normal #33, had a 6-yard TD himself to make it 19-7 at halftime.
The Wildcats put the game away early in the third quarter, with “Touchdown” Scottie Brown, picking up his third touchdown of the World Bowl, this on a 27-yard touchdown reception from QB Matthew Lanier. To celebrate, Brown “punted” the ball into the upper deck of Royal Park, and was assessed yet another 15-yard penalty. Once again, his antics allowed for the opposition to get good field, but Nassau-Hessen could only get a 39-yard field goal out of it, and with the Wildcats responding with a field goal of their own, Kinzar led comfortably after three, 29-10. The team was happy to run down the clock in the fourth, and after a fifteen play drive that saw Brown on the sidelines offering to sign autographs for the fans, Matt Victorino hit another three-pointer to make it 32-10 and render Nassau-Hessen’s TD with less the a minute to play completely meaningless.
After this victory, Kinzar is going back to Royal Stadium to take on the hosts themselves. The Sanctii are an offensive minded team led by Prince Petrus and collectively have a group of uniform numbers that make sense. It will prove to be a tough challenge in likely a hostile environment. Scottie Brown still feels the team, or at least he, can have a big game. “Yeah man. I mean like the Sanctii are all offense, ya know wut I’m saying? They can score and our defense will have problems but the one thing you don’t hear about them much is the play from their DB’s, you know what I mean? They can’t cover me. I will wear them out.”
