Fall 2023 Sunday 7v7 CoEd Soccer at Frederick Douglass Playground

Alright footy fanatics, gather 'round! The Fall 2023 Sunday 7v7 CoEd league at Frederick Douglass Playground has been nothing short of a calcio carnival! We've seen some absolutely jaw-dropping results, a league table tighter than a new pair of boots, and more twists and turns than a pretzel factory. If you weren't on the pitch catching this du foot, you missed out!

The Scorcerers Leading the Charge... For Now!

Remember the early days?
The Scorcerers burst out of the gates like an energy drink-fueled meteor, unleashing a barrage of goals that left opponents spellbound. A stunning 24-2 shellacking of The Sunrise FC set the tone! They've piled up a league-leading 43 goals in just five matches, a truly frightening attacking display. They were certainly 'scorcerers of goals', conjuring magic with every kick. However, the last couple of weeks have seen a shift in the cosmic balance; they fell to Unatletico Madrid 4-3 and then an eye-opening 8-4 thrashing by Goals of Care. It seems the magic potions have been a little less potent lately, leaving them vulnerable to counter-spells.

The Resurgent Challengers

Below the Scorcerers, it's a mosh pit for points! Technically, four teams currently sit on 9 points, setting up a truly epic end to the season.
Unatletico Madrid has been anything but 'unatletico' recently, showing a burst of form that would make any truly Madrileño fan proud. After a couple of early season wobbles, including a 9-3 pasting by Goals of Care, they've found their stride, including a dominant 8-1 win over The Sunrise FC and that massive 4-3 upset over the high-flying Scorcerers. Their incredible run continues with a solid 4-2 victory against High Totem FC, showing they're ready to put the "atletico" in their game.
Speaking of High Totem FC, while perhaps not always dominating the headlines with flamboyant results, they've been consistently solid. Standing tall as a 'High Totem' for resilience, they've chalked up crucial wins over Unatletico Madrid, Goals of Care, and The Sunrise FC. Their focus and tactical discipline are second to none in this division.

Goals of Care: A Rollercoaster Ride

Goals of Care has been a team of incredible highs and perplexing lows. They rocketed to a 9-3 victory in their opener, then absorbed a 9-4 drubbing from the Scorcerers and a 6-2 setback to High Totem FC. However, just when you thought their ship might be sinking, they rallied to defeat The Sunrise FC and, in a shocking turn, absolutely decimated the league leaders, Scorcerers, with an 8-4 clinic! Frankly, when they care deeply about finding the net, these players truly deliver on their name with 'goals of care'!

The Sunrise FC: Waiting for Dawn

On the other end of the fußball spectrum, The Sunrise FC has had a very tough go of it, still searching for their first points of the season. They've faced a gauntlet of red-hot teams and will be desperately hoping for their 'sunrise' moment, a breakthrough that can spark their campaign in the backend of the season.
