Can Huber deliver like Broadway Joe?Holtsville, NY--The race to the playoffs is already heating up during this third week of lax play of the Nor'Easter Summer Lacrosse League at the P.A.L. Athletic Complex.
Two teams are tied for 1st place, three tied for 2nd, and three for 3rd. It comes as no surprise that Checkmate Orange is one of those 1st place teams and Brunos is sucking wind down in the cellar.
The two games tonight features the newcomer SCPD Team vs. a very seasoned and wiley Land Sharks Red Team. Two SJU Alumni will be squaring off against each other. Ed Coleman, a Brentwood native, for Land Sharks and Keith Huber (East Islip '85, St. John's '89) in net for SCPD.
Tonight's game marks Huber's first return to Nor'Easter Lacrosse action since last June when he signed on to play with Ray Sipperly's Remnants squad. The emotional and physical toll he took losing and playing with Remnants put him into hibernation from lacrosse for the past 11 months. He is resurfacing now not only to secure SCPD a Nor'Easter Summer League title but also to tune -up for the Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament which commences within two weeks from yesterday. At Placid he'll be leading the defending co-champion Team Long Island- Lax Unlimited as the number one seed in a field of twenty on their quest for back to back championships. Huber has predicted victory in tonight's game versus Land Sharks Red. "We'll win", he exclaimed, "as long as I'm between those pipes".
Face-off is tonight at 7pm.

Maybe Keith should borrow Rob Martin's old school kicks for this one...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until we play him on August 14th... I'm going to take it coast to coast on Huber. That's why they call me the human clear.
ReplyDeleteI thought they called you the human afro, or just "toolbag", you are only the human clear against Lily Flanigans, who has nobody "between the lines". Huber will shut you down Jack!
ReplyDeleteSCPD loses 7-6. Matty Coogs, and JM Cortese where are you ? Busy with Donkey Kong?
ReplyDeleteClearing the ball is my life. It's all I do. Clear the ball and make plays. You guys are all upset because you can't beat us. So you call us toolbags. Funny. But we'll be the ones laughing at the end of the day. We're going to kill it in the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteHey jack, why dont you come down to pick-up Sunday morning and I'll show you "Tool-Time!"
