The #watchbros roust themselves from the dark nights and see foes marching onto the field, mustering for battle. These are the men of the White Mountains. In the early moments, as the pugilists met in muddied formalities, Nicholas of Heureux tallied the first strike in the dawn moments of the tilt of soldiers. But the gentlemen warriors of the White Mountains fought to even. As the battle raged, it was the savant Benedictus of Astorios who took the game into the palms of his grizzled hands and found opportunity to strike against the enemy thrice and hold off the final crush of the battle to seal victory for the proud #bros of the #watch. The sun dipped, the men drank flagons of gatoradeus, and the night settled with the old veteran Sir Butler stoking the fire and whistling in the wind.
On Saturday, the boys JV lacrosse team hosted Proctor Academy in a rematch of a game played earlier in the season. The first and the second quarter both went to Proctor by a score of 2-1, as Robert Raymond scored for Kimball Union in the first and Ben Astley took a nice feed from Sam Isaacs to score in the second. Though the Kimball Union defense played with poise, Proctor opened a lead in the third, scoring a number of unanswered goals to go ahead 8-2. In the fourth, with relentless pressure, KUA pulled back two, with Sam Isaacs on a nice individual drive and Sam Erb sneaking one in during the last seconds of play. Overall, it was a good effort from the #watchbros, who next face White Mountain School on Wednesday
And on this day, the #watchbros felt the heat of the sun in their legs and arms and the weariness of traveling beyond the wall in the recent past. Fighting against the mountain rams of the Tilted Heights, the #watchrbos struggled early to find their footing, looking through tired eyes and moving legs like shafts of lead. But onward they did fight, and the first to gain a strike on the enemy was Isaacsonsonsonsonsonson, a man possessed by desire to defeat foes in any manner. Before long, he also gifted an apple to the vaunted banker of Berlitz, who tallied his first enemy strike of the epoch when he spun and fired hard toward the enemy line. But in the village, the peasants are singing new songs of Benhamin del Astorio, wearer of the #black, slayer of foes (and considered a gentlemen ever since he single-handedly cleaned the bathrooms in the barracks after the spread of a particularly nasty little virus) for on this day he earned his first strike and then his second with a penetrating focus and skill and strength. We toasted him over tongues of beef stewed with onions and flagons of Gatoradeus and will muster our energies and our allies for the next battle on the rivers shore by Saxton.
