(Although the proof is in the pudding — Sky View has scored just two goals in the last two games and lost one of them) In any case Paulus is having none of it “No finishers? We don't have only one All of the team can score" As for why they didn't Friday he said “we were missing the ten percent luck we need in each game” Luck had little to do with Friday's might as well

blow through Ben Lomond lines as a quarterback would hit a halfback The junior is in fact a halfback a midfielder whose ten seconds of brilliance was made the more blinding by the context— Bclliston says he’s just a “trash guy” Although the Grizzlies prefer to attack from the sides their scoring strike was right up the Scots’ gut Stealing the ball 10 yards into BL territory Belliston “saw the middle was wide and open” He unloaded to Jeppson ripped up the center of the field When he turned around again he was alone with Jeppson 's pass headed his way By then most Scots who had raced up in waves to block the thrust were upfield and trying to recover But it was too late for them as Belliston bore down on Childs With the keeper charging towards him Belliston had no doubts — “I said “I gotta chip it it’s the only way’ I chipped it just perfect and it went over the goalie” The score was Belliston’s first of the season but the chip shot was his umpteenth — “I practice it all the time”
