Has David defeated Goliath?

The David and Goliath story reinacted in Foozeball, as James Stevenson defeats Darrell Haines
The Past lerks in the Present
As mentioned in a previous post, James Stevenson began his season, in the 2005-2006 on a massive winning streak, defeating Darrell Haines. James for the information of Foozeball fans, fell to a slump in this previous season, which led to his first round defeat to Randy Thurlow (league Champion). Looking from the past to now, James had a rocky start to his season, being defeated by Darrell, early in the season in a 9-8 Loss, but meeting Darrell this week in what would be a Cinderella story/ David and Goliath reinactment... this would make Shannon Nicholson proud.
The point of this is, that James is on a winning streak once again. Will this be possible, that James had a slump in the beginning of the season and will finish strong, possibly with a championship?
If you have answered no to this, I question your authority, as this week, James became the first to beat Darrell Haines, during this 2006-2007 season. This game began with a slow start, but would eventually see Darrell suffering a loss to his undefeated season, in a 9-4 Loss.
Darrell's pre-game comments were:

"well the past lurked up on me today. Unfortunatly the winning streak is over, but the record stands at 28points, as the new record for most points in a season and winning streak. Although, I count all that I have achieved as meaningless, until I have won the championship. James is good, my arrogance is a downfall that I wish to deal with, during the days prior to playoffs."

There you have it, another David and Goliath Story, pride truly does come before the fall, and it is what led to James victory of Darrell Haines. Goodluck to James Stevenson in the days ahead, and beware to those who oppose James, he is on fire as of late. See you next week as you check up on Foozeball Action, with me your host and Foozeball "COMMISH" Darrell Haines.

There was a Cinderella Princess this week in Foozeball this week with Darrell Haines and James Stevenson, my question is, will we see a Cinderella Story again, with Playoffs just around the corner?

The Past and the Present!

Here is Darrell and James on a mission trip in the Sahara, where James met Shannon this summer....Heylook, Vincent is in the Background...This is all obviously a lie. The truth is though, that we have a rematch of one of the better games of the season.
Looking back to the 2005-2006 Season
James defeats Darrell 9-7
James defeats Darrell 9-8

This season 2006-2007
Darrell defeats James on opening day 9-8

As we have reflected to the past, let us see what is the now. James Stevenson standing with 11points, standing three points away from elimination. Darrell Haines, his friend and close rival from last year, undefeated.... yet some,are optimistic of Darrell's upcoming match with James. When asked his thoughts Darrell said:

"I really believe that James has what it takes to beat everyone in the League. Right now he is easing his way into at least eighth, and I am frightened of what that means for my chances. I intend to take it a game at a time, unlike last year, I claimed victory in the beginning. If James falls, he will get back up, after all Shannon is looking great for playoffs. No further comments....Please!"

There you have it, Darrell Haines sees hope yet for James Stevenson. James has an outstanding alltime record. His defense is inpecable and can match almost anyones in strength. Best of luck to James as he meets Darrell in this upcoming week.
The question is, Will he join the chopping block this week? Will those already there lose out on their oppurtunity?

Battling for 2nd Best!

Tyler Macdougall vs Vincent Arsenault, basically what the battle is in the standings. These to combattants have been at it neck in neck in the standings for a couple of weeks now. Tyler "Aka" Mahalalel has had the upper hand for three weeks, before this week when Vincent Arsenault won the victory putting him in distance of 2nd place, and quite possibly 1st. The question to ask is, who will be where when the dust clears...these two are both 3 Points away from clinching their place in playoffs, which means that they could lose all games and still finish bottom three for a spot. This week the standings have narrowed. Vincent is happy as he fences his way to the top, but the question is, will you find your way into playoffs?
Records Officially Broken

"Darrell Haines," AKA "me" or the "commish," has finally achieved his set season goal of becoming known as an opponent in the League. This week he beats his formerly set records for most points in a season, which was 24, but is now 26 and going. Along with beating this record, Joel Bridges who had fought his way from the bottom, to a playoff spot last year, winning almost 10 straight, has had his record for most wins in a row beaten by this same person. When asked his comments on the achievements he said:

"I think it is about time that I forget all about this Crap!, being #1 in the League is meaningless if I have not gone on to win the prize. My biggest mistake last year was a lesson learned, thanks Randy!. When I thought that it was all said and done, it was last season...for me. Robbie, Vincent, Tyler....All have the same passion to win as Randy Thurlow and I will not lose to another Thurlow"

Randy Thurlow definetly left his mark on the Foozeball League at Maritime Christian College. Randy holds a record that cannot be broke, that being the first to ever hold the Maritime Christian College Foozeball Cup. The Foozeball world misses you Randy, keep on trucking. What has been said here today can be seen in many lights, the biggest being that you should never count your chickens before their hatched.... And much bigger than that is that you should not celebrate the race until it is finished!...Theres a Sermon Illustration for you...
God Bless Brothers and Sisters In Christ!
Looking Forwards to the weeks to Come!

If a contestant has at least 21 points at this time, they have no possible way of making playoffs.
Tyler MacDougall
Tyler MacDougall, otherwise known as Mahalalel is on quite the streak as of late. He has achieved a six pack, and I don't mean body, I mean in wins...when will his winning streak end? Not really sure, but I do know that he is only a mere 6 points back of first in the Maritime Christian College Foozeball league.
Also along with his winning streak and possibilities of hitting first place in the league, he may very well clinch playoffs soon, only sitting 3 points back of the point range. Macdougall has been hot as of late, in fact the reason he is mentioned as one of the best in the league is because he may quite possibly be the best!...his goals against are the best in the League with 98, that is best other than our point leader Darrell Haines who has 105 Goals against. Congradulations! Mahalalel is #1 in the League on Defense...Watch out, this guy is on a role and you could be his next opponent.
Good Luck and God Bless!, Enjoy the remainder of the season...
Your "Commish" Darrell Haines

Some will rise, but many will Fall...

Robbie Sevilla

Robbie crosses some paths and goes over enemy lines to playoff territory, how long will it last?

Whats the Scoop?
Robbie Sevilla, one who was just outside playoff ranks last week, with a guarantee in a comment on the previous post of winning the foozeball cup, sees himself this week in the playoff race. When asked this week his comments on playoffs he said:

"I will do ok in Playoffs, good enough to beat you!...not really, depends on who I am playing, but I am up there now...Yessss!"

Robbie also made a sarcastic comment of going down in the first round. From one Foozeball lacky to another, I see Robbie being a threat to those he plays in playoffs, so there you have it, watch out for the Sevilla train. This is one Phillapino you don't wanna mess with, eh! Robbie.

Is there Hope, or is it gone for Elimination?


Nathan Clarke on the comback trail?
Are you on the Virge of Elimination?
It is that time of season, many are close to elimination and have some comebacks to make. Some are Eliminated. Nathan Clarke, one of the more passionate of the Foozeball players as we notice in the picture above, has a passion for the game and if there is a oppurtunity of dropping even one game, his season is over.
Nathan has already discussed this destiny with some and he feels that he has a chance and will make playoffs.
The question for those who are cutting it close is, what will I have to offer in playoffs? Randy Thurlow showed last season that it is a drive to win that makes a champion and that is just what I see Nathan as having if he gets on the path for the Foozeball Cup.
This is our report today, we see how Nathan has changed overtime, looks wise, so Foozeball wise I have full confidence that he could do the same. Afterall, he beat many during pre-season. Good Luck in the remainder of the season all.
See you next time for your Foozeball Updates!

Its not over yet, standings are close. Many records to be broken. If Darrell wins his next game he will break the ALL-Time Record for most points, will it happen?
Who will be in Playoffs? Darrell was asked who he estimates the top dogs are from his game time experiences and he said:

"Well at this point in time, one cannot say it is hard to tell, especially those who have played most everyone like myself. I see Vincent Arsenault having a huge challenge for those he faces in Playoffs, along with Joel Bridges and Rebecca Hankinson. You can never count out players like James Stevenson and Samara Stockton either, especially because both players which are just outside playoffs have made names for themselves in the league. I Cannot yet deem myself great at the game, until I defeat those who I have mentioned in the Playoff atmosphere, thats where the game is really played"

So there you have it, the season is looking intense, lots of time left for things to happen. Willyour favorites make it in? well perhaps, but the question is, who will win it all? Thanks for your attention, the support is awesome and much appreciated.
See you next week as we have the Season Standings again put before you.
