As always, whenever there is a tournament, Mother Nature decides to interfere and she had a little hand in this one. North Greece was prepared and ready to go with the drill, but the sprinkles started to come down just before the start. After a half-hour delay, the captains voted to run the drill so the track was cleared off and we were ready to go.
3-Man Ladder started us off on the right foot with some competitive times. Henrietta brought their 'A' game to the track again and took first place with a 7.27. This is the second week in a row they won this event. Main-Transit came close with a 7.49 for second place, and Sea Breeze took third with an 8.57.
In B-Ladder, North Greece started us off with a time of 7.46 and were followed by the Indians with an 8.40. Main-Transit brought a 6.79 to the table, only to be overtaken by Henrietta with a 6.08.
C-Ladder was completed in a timely manner with Henrietta taking first place with a 10.59. Point Pleasant took a close second with a 10.66. Main-Transit took third with an 11.51 followed by North Greece with an 11.88 and Sea Breeze a 15.89.
The water test went quickly and the water time was set at 4.72. C-Hose was not very eventful. Point Pleasant was the last team on the line and the time to beat was a 16.35 from Henrietta. The Pea Pickers went ahead and posted a 15.96 to take first place and move one step closer to catching them in total points.
The B-Hose contest resulted in Henrietta regaining that point. The Ol’ Henries took first with a 10.24 followed by North Greece (12.56), Point Pleasant (13.29), Main-Transit (13.65) and Sea Breeze (15.93.)
The Efficiency contest was a welcome sight for the Spencerport Red Onions. This was their first event for the year and they pulled off an 11.15 for third place (with new guys and only one night of practice!) Main-Transit took first place with a 10.17 and Point Pleasant second with a 10.89.
Motor Pump began with the Slo-Pokes three points behind Henrietta for first place overall. Main-Transit ran a 7.66 and put the pressure on the Ol’ Henries to run a good time. Henrietta stepped up and ran a 7.46 to win the event and go into buckets with a four point lead. It was all up to the Ol’ Henries if they were going to win the drill.
The Bucket Brigade was a team effort by all, especially Sea Breeze and Sheridan Park with only 3 guys on the ground filling buckets. Both teams could have elected to not run but they both took to the track and busted their butts to complete the event with crowd urging them on. Main-Transit won the event with a time of 25.72 and Henrietta took second with a 28.48. Point Pleasant came in third with a 28.48 followed by North Greece with a 39.20 and Sea Breeze with a 41.43.
In order to complete the Sea Breeze drill from June 18th, all teams needed to run Buckets a second time. All the times were better but the order did not change. Main-Transit won the event, followed by Henrietta, Point Pleasant, North Greece and Sea Breeze.
The rain delayed the dirll a little bit, but once the drill got started, the rain stopped and we were able to complete in a timely manner.
Here are the final results:
1st Place – Henrietta – 33 Pts.
2nd Place – Main-Transit – 30 Pts.
3rd Place – Point Pleasant – 20 Pts.
4th Place – North Greece – 16 Pts.
5th Place – Sea Breeze – 13 Pts.
