Some intense games unfolded on the KA courts tonight. The big story was Nick Metcalfe and the Constructivists, who strolled to an easy 21 - 6 victory over the Modernists in their second game, Metcalfe scoring 13 times, and every player registering points and assists (except captain Jamie Poskin, who sat the entire game). Chunsun Baak made baskets, steals, and rebounds like a pro tonight for the Modernists, but the team — drafted for their speed and soccer skills — lacked the height to win their first basketball game. The Cubists’ Rex Chen played like a champion, as did his threatening teammates Avery “the goose” Silverman and Alex Pusey. But the vicious triumvirate couldn’t squeak a victory out of the still-undefeated Constructivists, even with the added tough play of Kevin “money train” Tang and Chandler Davis-Phelps. Gregory Owen of the Surrealists hit some nice shots from outside, and Kyler Crawford played the post like a mixed-breed of Dennis Rodman and Hakeem Olajuwon. The Cubists and Surrealists’ game went down to the wire, ending at a tie in overtime and with a bunch of sweaty counselors and ballers.

And on the pitch, Kristie Girl and Joshua Lee of the Post-Impressionists had strong showings, and Timothy So blocked a zillion goals, but it wasn’t enough to conquer their rivals, the Impressionists, or the league-leading Vampire Slayers. Cameron Bates and Peter Joe had solid games for the Impressionists, who picked up a win and a loss on the evening. Carlos Domene ended the controversy over his penalty kick against the Post-Impressionists by scoring an authoritative goal in the final minutes to give the Vampire Slayers a 3 - 1 victory. Braxton Carr scored a goal and then took a hard foul in the box, showing the highs and lows of the wonderful game of soccer. And Calvin “forced field” Chang saved a goal and the Vampire Slayers from their first loss by stealing the ball from a Post-Impressionist striker in the twentieth minute near the goal. An exciting day all around for the KA Camp Cup.

The basketball courts were alive with a couple close games this evening. The Impressionists, rebounding strongly off their opening two losses, came out and won two tonight, with Matthew “fast hands” Decoste passing well to the post, and the ever-dangerous Peter Joe handling his business. Cameron Bates contributed in a big way to give the Impressionists the edge they needed to win two close ones. Danielle Girl of the Modernists had some Stockton-like moments as she dished off to big men Joshua Lee and Geoffrey Wong, who scored well for the mod squad but couldn’t quite make a final push to victory in either game. The Vampire Slayers overcame some terrifying shrieking and monstrous screaming from a newly made-over Post-Impressionists outfit. Carlos “el diablo” Domene scored, passed, and broke ankles at will once again, driving through the lane with impunity. The Slayers are now 4 and 0.

On the pitch, the offensive cannons were firing. After nearly having to forfeit their first game for arriving late, the Surrealists came through and scored three goals against the undefeated Constructivists, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Red Wedge, who had four different players score in their first game for a 6 - 3 win. The Surrealists’ Isabel Monahan — hailing from the vaunted halls of Jerry — used her incredible ball-handling abilities to lead her crew. Nearly everyone she challenged fell flat on their face after she deployed her wicked moves, including team-captain Jamie Poskin. The Cubists picked up their first win as well as their first loss tonight — getting strong play again from the vicious triumvirate: Avery “the goose” Silverman, Rex Chen, and Alex Pusey. Tomorrow’s match-ups look promising, and remember: it’s a knock-out!

In basketball news, the Vampire Slayers and Constructivists got off to great starts, winning their first two by large margins. The infamous “Red Wedge” looked impenetrable, with Nick Metcalfe hitting outside shots consistently, Ansh Shukla (the day’s MVP) playing tough defense and scoring big underneath, and Seung Kim and Pao-Kuan “Paul” Chin making dozens of steals and lighting it up on fast breaks. Carlos Domene led the Vampire Slayers to two easy victories with his wizard-like passing, omniscient court vision, and utterly disruptive defense. Peter Joe of the Impressionists provides a glimmer of hope for a talented but under-coached team. And Neville Eclav’s Surrealists may have their work cut out for them on the basketball court, but should be feared on the soccer pitch and possibly on the Scrabble board as well.

On the soccer side of the evening, there were a few exciting and close matches. The Cubists were the big surprise — tying the tough-to-beat Modernists and Post-Impressionists with their tremendous speed up front from Rex Chen (the day’s hustler), Avery “the goose” Silverman, and Alex Pusey. The Modernists’ Arjan Saraon had a couple brilliant games and Jason “Mondrian” Hopper’s squad looks to be an intimidating force for the remainder of the cup.
