Vibes of Tension flow during Week 2

Dejavu for Some...
Tom Marshall V.S. Darrell Haines

For many of the students for this semester, those both participating in the MCCFBA and those not, this matchup may mean completely nothing!
But for those who have come and gone from Maritime Christian College, also those who are left from last years Foozeball league debut, you would remember this matchup.
This is one of very few Playoff rivalries remaining...
Tom Marshall and Darrell Haines met last semester in what would then be seen as a matchup between the best in the league (Darrell) and the lucky underdog (Tom).
Everyone knew though that, this was not the case, for Tom Marshall was one of the best players, but had intention of taking himself from the low to the high of the league, meaning the Foozeball Championship.
This would be a great series, Tom Marshall led the series easily, taking back to back wins on the yellow side of the Foozeball field, both at 9-3 wins over Darrell Haines. Despite knowledge of the disadvantage though, animosity rose between the two, Darrell would practice against those he saw better in preparation for his final games with Tom.
Sure enough, Practice paid off! Darrell Haines from there took the next two games of the series in both 9-8 victories and went on to take the final two as well, stealing four straight from Tom in both a 9-6 victory and then a 9-1 victory in the concluding game to the series.
Darrell Haines never lasted long in the second round, although what we note from the first round, between Tom Marshall and Darrell Haines is the great rivalry the two developed, wanting to prove always who was the better of the Foozeball players.
Darrell at one time learned from Tom, but would Tom in this season learn from Darrell?
This was clearly the match of the week, Darrell Haines distracted easily went down five goals early. Tom gave him quite the run, it was intense, Darrell's goal, his dream at a undefeated season may have ended early, but would it?
Well Darrell Haines once again overcame odds, he battled back hard, changing his own strategie, developing a more defensive strategy, which would be the difference as he battled back for a 9-5 victory over Tom.
