Cloud 9 Stonerz fall to Team Nasty in 105.78-105.42 thriller

There's no sugarcoating it, Cloud 9 Stonerz didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Team Nasty came from behind for a 105.78-105.42 victory. Team Nasty trailed 105.42-91.48 heading into Monday night, but the team rallied behind Javonte Williams (43 Rush Yds, 65 Rec Yds).

Coach Talk

Team Nasty
We wonder if the GM of Team Nasty was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 0.36 points, Evan McPherson (2-of-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember kids, every point matters!
Cloud 9 Stonerz
Don't get too down on yourself, Cloud 9 Stonerz! Trust me here (this is coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that gritty Graduate Assistant job open at the community college down the road!
