(S9) - PT 3 - Past Events

[nunccoepi]

I don't know much about league events that have taken place and are worth writing about. I joined after a lot of the drama of the early days had passed so the most exciting thing had probably been either Philly's sell-off or Hendrix's sudden departure. But even those I'm not sure that I could write two hundred words about. Know what I CAN write 200 words about? That's right, Kyle Corbett. Dude had a monster season, and then in the playoffs went mysteriously silent. Somehow Lucha made it passed the San Antonio Marshals without him, and then in the championship he did something that he almost never does: he missed an extra point. Down 20-18 with two minutes left, they knew they had to make a push deep into Coyote territory. But once there, could they trust Kyle Corbett to put the game away? Clearly he was stricken by the spotlight. He began his cadence and took a deep breath. The ball was snapped with only a second left on the clock. The hold was secure and Corbett booted the ball harder than he ever has in his life. It wasn't until he felt the force of his 50 teammates dog-piled on top of him that he realized that the ball had bounced up and through the uprights. The Tijuana Luchadores had won their first championship.
