Cal vs. St. Mary's

The break between league games and playoffs is both a blessing and a curse. It's nice to have that break so that people can rest up and take care of injuries but at the same time it makes it difficult to stay focused, which is why we scheduled the game against St. Mary's. We put out a mostly B-side squad with a lot of people. It was a chance to get people more playing time and to throw some people into new positions. Unfortunately, injuries have hit us pretty hard this year, which means the more depth we can develop at each position going into playoffs the better off we'll be.

It was a fun game to watch even though we ended up only scoring one try and losing by a large margin. There was more cohesion than I had seen in previous B-side games and a lot of people gave some awesome individual performances. Plus, there was spirit. Even when they got scored on, they kept their heads up and continued working. They adapted and there was a huge improvement from the beginning of the game to the end. Overall, I'm just glad that the B-side got some time on the field and that they were able to hold it together without A-side starters on the field with them.
