Now that these actually start to matter, this photo will be the last you see of them in this column. The faster you scroll down, the sooner it will be over.<\/p><\/div><strong><strong>*** &#8211; Katie London (Cobra Kai)<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/strong><div style=\"width: 432px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/9klcWs0.jpg\" width=\"422\" height=\"422\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cobra Kai was kind enough to lend Katie to the Rehabs for their key divisional matchup against Mathematics. She returned the favor of getting to play almost the entire game with hardly any subs by scoring her first career BTSH goal. Katie: please join the Rehabs. You can have Hector&#8217;s spot. KAT!\u20ac has a nice ring to it. \u00a0(Before you ask, there are no tampering rules in BTSH, so take that Greg.)<\/p><\/div><strong>** Sarah Moore &amp; Caroline Morrissey-Bickerton (Anklebiters)<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><div style=\"width: 553px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Sarah-Moore-and-Caroline.jpg\" width=\"543\" height=\"307\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Biters got a key win this week against Filthy Gorgeous, winning in dramatic fashion by tying the game in the last minute of regulation and then scoring in overtime. Caroline and Sarah both contributed key goals in a game when the Biters were short-staffed and behind the eight ball. In crunch time, they both delivered, so they get the second star together.<\/p><\/div><strong><strong>* Aaron Friedman (Dark Rainbows)<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/strong><div style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/yucr9pD.jpg\" width=\"434\" height=\"407\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">It&#8217;s finally Aaron Friedman&#8217;s place. Big #26 had the game winning goal, a wicked snipe to the top shelf, in the Rainbows&#8217; 1-0 win over Mega Touch. At a time when the Rainbows desperately need to find their scoring touch, his individual effort might be the spark plug that gets them going right as they head into the playoffs. And since this week&#8217;s stars are the most meaningful to date, that means that Aaron is currently the King of BTSH. Eminem alludes to this development in his song &#8220;Monster&#8221; with the lyrics &#8220;it&#8217;s payback, Aaron Friedman \/ Falling way back in the draft, turn nothing into something, still can \/ Make that.&#8221; Congrats, buddy. You deserve it.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we get to the end of the regular season and matches start to take on heavy playoff implications, the games get more important. \u00a0As a result, we can conclude that every star awarded outside of this week &#8211; and the the\u00a0weeks following &#8211; was effectively meaningless. \u00a0I know we say it every week, but [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1138,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-league-info"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9946"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1138"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9946"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9946\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9951,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9946\/revisions\/9951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
