(S30) PT 4 - Tough Loss

[RussDrivesTheBus]

OT losses are nothing new to San Jose. Bass has seen plenty in his career alone with the Sabercats. This one, however, stings more; as does any loss suffered at the hands of the Otters. San Jose’s in-state rival has an incredible pedigree. The Otters surged out to an early 2 touchdown lead, but the Cats defense held strong and let Lack and the Cheeseman work their magic. Deep into the 4th, Matty made clutch kick after Campbell took a pass 40 yards and into the range of the Scottish kicking machine. Matty bombs the 55-yarder through the uprights as time expires in regulation.

OT comes and the Otters start with the ball. Otis “Meatball” Allen gets back to back sacks, and the cats are ready to takeover, but then, disaster struck. Owen Holloway sneaks past the defense and houses a 75-yard TD strike. Game over. The Cats are devastated. The locker room dreary. But, a voice that has been chiming in all season, pipes up once again to lift the spirits of the entire team. Zach Crossley stood up and ripped into a hearty rendition of Hotel California that had the even the grouchiest of vets smiling and cheering him on. Raylan Crowder joined in and the rest is history. The darkest times need teammates like that, and San Jose is lucky to have multiple.
