The Swinging Arm

The 510 Crew is a part of soccer team, appropriately named "The Olechna Family Reunion." Our games take place on Fitzpatrick Field on Tuesday nights at either 9:45pm, 10:30pm, or 11:15pm. The league is filled with skilled teams, with matching uniforms and stretching routines. Most players have soccer cleats, and have played the game before at high levels. Then there is "The Olechna Family Reunion." We are a team of holigans, with only a few skilled players. But we have three things on our team that most teams cannot compete with. We have Craig, we have heart, and we have the swinging arm.

Craig is a soccer god. There is no other way to put it. He is like a alchemist, when ever he touches the ball, it turns to gold. The ball is an extension of his body, he has control over its every move. We have a simple motto on our team: "In Craig we Trust." We live that motto to the fullest, and it has served us well

Our teams heart is what the cowardly lion asked for from the Wizard of Oz. If you saw how Dec put himself on the line the other night in goal, you would know what it means to have courage. Beard was a brick wall on defense. No, not because of his skill, but because he had heart and wanted to win. Kazu, mentally out of the game for 90%, checked in to score a hat trick in the last 5 minutes. That takes heart. I could name every player, name all their accomplishments, and you would agree that there would not be enough bronze stars to go around. But there was one thing that brought us the 7-6 victory the other night. Something only the 510 crew knows...The Swinging Arm!

In FIFA'10 for Xbox 360, there is an option to celebrate after a goal is scored. Kazu's favorite move is called the swinging arm. After the player scores the goal, he runs around the field, swinging him arm around in a circle over and over. Last night we adopted this move, and it served us well. Going into the half, we were down 3-2. Of course, Craig had those two goals, but we were playing with a lot of heart. The second half was not going our way. We found ourselves down 6-2 with just over 5 minutes left. We moved Kazu to forward, and he dug deep to score a big goal. Then, as if it were practice, we all started doing the swinging arm, running around the field. A minute later, Kazu followed up with a second goal and again out came the swinging arm. Then DJ Sweets, off an assist from Nickelback, scored his first career goal. The swinging arm was going wild! The opposing team didn't know what hit them. They kicked off again, and there was a quick steal. Off a pass from Brit, Kazu score our teams 5th goal, in a matter of minutes. We were down by one with 2 minutes left on the clock. Again, with heart, Dec made a huge save, passed the ball up to Brit, who passed it up to Kazu. Kazu dribbled and passed it back to Brit, who nailed it into the upper 90. Tie game...and you guessed it, out came the swinging arm! With 15 second left, Brit put a corner kick into Kazu's chest, which he controlled and kicked into the bottom corner of the net for the game winning goal. "The Olechna Family Reunion" ran all around the field, swinging the arm and celebrating the biggest comeback of all time...in intramural history.

This season has been great. We are off to a 1-1-0 start, and have played above anyone's expectations. But most importantly, this season we learned that "In Craig We Trust", to play with our hearts, and to never stop The Swinging Arm.
See us next week (4/11) at 11:15!
