This One's for You Mary Jo

"Let's just say 'it's no Chappaquiddick" chortled the 'Hooter' to the unhappy Andover Massachusetts fan as he left the Smithfield arena. Her Warriors had been steam rolled by the band of 13 squirts out of Rockland County, NY. "I thought Rockland was a beautiful community on the coast of Maine" she had inquired before the 'grumpy geriatric' leveled her aristocratic aura, just as the Bucs laid waste to her team (7-1). "And we don't have Prep Schools there either" smirked the 'gregarious grouch' before she could again suggest that the Pirates were too good to play in this tournament. The 'Hooter' was feeling his oats after this mauling. Seven different scorers hit the twine in an awesome display of passing and puck control. The Pirates withstood three consecutive penalties in the first five minutes of the game. Their growing confidence in their defense enabled a consistent attack to develop over the next two and on-half periods. As the team convened in the parking lot 'Hooter' remarked to #22, "Dill, when your first shot hit the goalie square in the face mask - and he didn't react - it reminded me of the scurrilous Ted Kennedy not doing anything to save that girl. But that's another story. He's just one of Mass' two shits!"
