I’m glad that this is my last week of this crazy schedule of working 6 days a week and I'm on vacation next week. So yay to that, but we should give a bigger shout out to everyone that participated in the charity tournament last weekend. 

It was fun to see, but a little disappointing as well. Everyone was crying for the dip to be brought back and we allowed it for this tournament, and I think I saw 3 or 4 total dips. I want to see every player on every catch dropping low to make a defender or two miss. 

What I really wanted to see was Andrew show up, strap on his cleats, run the 40, and walk off after a blazing time. I think he might have heard about Moe running a 4.9 and was like, I can compete with that. Good thing because that wasn’t the fastest time from what I hear. It was a 4.6 by someone not playing in the league. We will be doing something like this again in the future and we'd love for it to be a bigger all-day event. 

Studs and Duds 

Time to find out if you impressed me or disappointed me enough to make my list.

Studs

D1

- Gabriel Boucher 3 TDs and a pick on defense.

D2

- Thomas Cote-Parent 1 Tad and 1 pick. 

D3

- Antoine Bussieres 1 TD,1 pick which he took back for 6.

D4

- Alouettes defense 8 sacks and 4 picks. 

D5

- Alex Taschereau 5 TD passes plus 2 sacks and a pick 6 on defense. 

Women's 

- Genevieve Gaudet 3 TD passes plus a pick on defense. 

Duds

D1

- PO with his 6 picks. 

D2

- Owie for having more completions to 1 player than the rest of the team. 

D3

- Leon Holder 4 picks and less than 50% completions.

D4

- Damien Lalonde-Blondin throwing 4 picks. 

D5

- Nicolas Cloutier three 6 picks. 

Women's 

- Angie Toporowski for throwing 4 picks. 

If you expect to see your name up here then you will need to try harder and put-up better stats or no stats at all, it’s the only way to make my list. There are a few other ways, but you don’t need to know about them.

Final Thoughts 

I’m exhausted and glad to be on vacation as of Friday. For the first time in over a month I'll have a day off. This gives me a chance to catch up on things like sleep and will eventually get to watch a game or 2 since I won’t be sleeping. 

I’m late getting this done and don’t really have anything else, so rest up since tomorrow is game day. Go out, have fun, and try not to kill anyone. See you tomorrow if you’re at de la Verendrye.
