Prompt 1

While the Baltimore Platoon have a range of veteran, physical defensemen like Slip McScruf, Pojo Biscuit, and Jamal Nightingale the coaches could ask to step up and send a message, rookie M’Baku Olubori jumped at the chance to send a message for the team. However, while Olubori has been no stranger to physical play, he’s never been much of a fighter. He recorded a single fight in juniors during S67 (which he lost). Still, Baku was eager to prove himself and change the energy of the team late in the 3rd.

In actuality, fellow BAP rookie and Regina alum Don Juan would have been the better choice. He had 7 career fights to his name with the Elk, but only won a single bout. Still, Baku volunteered, and the coaches let him attempt his best. Olubori skated over to the other team’s top power forward and pushed him around, jawing as Baku does best. Surprisingly, it didn’t take much to get under Chimkin Wing’s skin (Baku may have made some comments about Wing’s siblings that triggered the fight). They dropped the gloves and brawled to a tie. It wasn’t the best fight, but Baku did it.


Baltimore still lost the game, but there was semblance of dignity.
