Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Hammond and Walton went at it, and soon the whole field was involved.
A shove, a tag, and two ejections later, the benches cleared.
The coaches didn’t say much, but the players did all the talking.
This one felt like a mid-week game in March, with the intensity and drama adding to the excitement.
This one was all about the moment, and the moment was about momentum and emotions, not stats or strategy.
Original observation: The game was all about the players letting their emotions get the best of them.
