That was week one of that year during practice on Thursday. This is Championship of the same year during the last match of finals on Saturday.

After winning every match for the last five weeks of regionals, Andy Baker played his last official match in the Championship finals, balanced both goals off the bridge under a minute, built 2 stacks of 8 bins and dominated the top of the ramp with his wings (these are real* wings, mind you), hung from the center bar and and capped the enemy goal with the big ball in autonomous, capped all 9 tetras in autonomous, lift the puck 45 degrees off the ground and 8 floppies 8 ft into the air, scored 4 black balls from one side of the trough to the other hanging from the center bar, and pushed 3 goals full of soccer balls while simultaneously touching either end of the end zones.

He then wrote a song for his daughters. They were happy. Very happy.
