An undermanned Cutters line up was on the receiving end of a
decisive loss handed to them on a gold platter by arch-nemesis Wake
Forest. The Cutters went into the game with a nine-month winning
streak against an opponent whom they were previously unable to
conquer.
Johan "Working class man" Van Leeuwen and Kepler "a = x * y / a -
2b" Schumann were unable to play due to unbreakable promotional
commitments and were replaced in the line-up by big man Stephen
Cooper and former Cutter Michael Kroon who returned to play a one
off game since leaving the team over a pay dispute.
Ben popped a hard fought for 12 points, Scott 7 and 5 apiece for
Tim, Michael, and Stephen while David was held scoreless. No real
stand out performances however Ben’s steady and consistent scoring
and defensive efforts wins him this weeks MVP.
The game looked to become a blow out early with Wake Forest
nearly reaching double figures before the Cutters men were able to
put a single score on the board. A late surge by the Cutters kept
the final score respectable but showed the dominance of Wake Forest,
especially number 22 who hit a team high 30 points.
The Cutters hope to amend this shock loss with a win against
"Lob-it-long" Tranmere this coming Monday.
Note:
Apologies for the lateness of this weeks update, the ever
increasing popularity of the Cutters merchandise in the lead up to
Christmas has all staff working double shifts to meet customer
demands. Diamond Cutters management are still hiring so for more
