Scottish Scoops 31.007: July Almanac

[Vic]

Scottish Claymores
2031 Almanac: July

Narrative:

Just as it appeared the Claymores were in complete freefall and a real contender for the worst record in PEBA and the resulting first pick in the draft … they woke up.

Sort of.

Kind of.

If you call posting double digit wins “waking up.” And if you had been following Scotland’s season to that point (and condolences if you had), you’d definitely have to call it that.

The Claymores went 12-15 for the month and actually looked mediocre instead of catastrophic. Progress?

Of a sort.
