"That's Skatrick," said Crocfin coach, Tiny Spearinyou. "He'll do whatever it takes, whenever it takes it. Even Peezy was impressed. Usually we have to keep the Kroxigor away from the skinks after a match, but after Tuesday night's game he gave the little guy one of the skulls from his human bone collection."
Gobbs' murder--which some say is the first time a skink killed a dwarf on the pitch since the first age--cleared the way for Beast to scoop up the ball and dash 60 yards for a last-minute touchdown that sealed the Crocfin victory.
Despite the fact that the final score was a shutout, the hard-fought match began inauspiciously for the Crocfins, with Sginn Jr. fumbling a short pass near midfield to Rasta Chilliams, who later suffered a smashed collar-bone at the hands of one of the Bearded Bullies' troll slayers. Sginn Jr. made up for the miscue seconds later by scooping up the ball, dodging a dwarf blocker's would-be tackle, and streaking 40 yards to the endzone.
"Me felt great out there," said Sginn Jr. "When me get that ball again, me see Dwarfy, and me no want him touch me, so me gone. Me might not be mighty mighty, but me mighty slippery."The match was not all success for the Crocfins though. In addition to Chilliams' injury, the team lost Crocadillo for most of the match. While Chilliams is listed as doubtful for the next game, Crocadillo's status is still unknown.
"We'll check him out at practice and see where he is," said Spearinyou. "He took a dwarf boot right to the face, was unconscious for the rest of the match. We just got him back to the point where he knows his own name, so we'll just have to take it day by day."
Spearinyou also noted that he had some worries about the effectiveness of Jay Peezey after watching the Kroxidor get tossed around the field like a rag doll by Gulin Stok-Trol, the bearded Bullies' star troll slayer.
"It's definitely a concern," he said. "When you see a one-ton wall of reptillian muscle get bashed up and down the pitch like that by someone less than half his size, it really makes you wonder. So, yeah, we got some things to work on in practice--and I can tell you I'm definitely giving that arrow a twist or two before the next match."Still, the mood in the swamp was definitely upbeat after the game as the Crocfins shook off the vestiges of last year's embarrassing all-but-one-dead match, insisting that this season has the potential to restore pride to Maimey.
"This a new season--new Crocfins," said Beast. "Me no care about no game where all the skinkies die. Me no care about Croco Lemon's head flying through the air. That last season. This this season!"
