glory is fleeting
I am the Human player for team 66, the penguins. Its my second year in this role and I find that this year alows for more use of the Human players.
When I am not shooting I am the head pit scout and strategist. We are a very small team so i do many of these things on my own. I was activated when our team was loosing continually in grand rapids, and after a bad showing at Great Lakes we were desperate for a win. My stradegies and assistance to our coach allowed for us to have a streak of 6 wins after three straight losses.
We made it third seed and won our quarterfinal easily. I received great praise when we beat beatty (71) by a point (the last ball I threw) in our second semifinal match. But glory is fleeting as we lost our final against Chief (47) by a point.
Human players are often blamed when matches are lost by a close margin, but rarely praised when the are won by a similar margin.
I;m not the best shot out there ( 90% zone 1, 70% zone 2, 50 zone 3, hit or miss after that ). But I am valuable to my team in other ways. While Human players are the most overlooked member of the drive team we share equal importance.
