Plethora of Pinatas

No, we will not die like dogs. But we will fight, like lions! Because we are...the THREE AMIGOS!

Plethora of Pinatas was formed in August 2009 by Cris Kodiak. The team held a few different names before being set on Plethora of Pinatas. The orginal season in the Fall of 2009 was called Swift Kick in the Grass (SKITG) and that team sadly went 0-7-0. The next season was indoor and the team went by the name of the Wolfpack. They got their first win that season, in fact there were 3 of them, but no playoff wins.

Spring 2010 is when the team name Plethora of Pinatas made their debut, and since it has remained. This is in reference to the movie Three Amigos. The team had some success, but ended up sub .500, still no playoff wins and a final record of 2-3-2.

Fall 2010 POP finally got over the .500 mark for a season but were disappointed with an upset playoff loss. Final Record 3-3-2.

Indoor 2010 was the only indoor season where POP played at the Ashland Sports complex. POP had a high seed in the playoffs, only to be upset AGAIN in the playofs by a team we beat 6-1 in the regular season. Final Record 2-3-3.

Indoor 2011 was the first season that Plethora of Pinatas (POP) really found their groove. They started the season winning 5 in a row, and then won not one but two playoff games, as they went all the way to the championship, to lose by one goal to a team that crushed them by 3 in the regular season. Watching that team get their championship shirts made POP hungry for success. Final Record 7-3-1. 2nd Place.

Spring 2011 was a particularly dismal season for POP and they attribute it to the crummy field at River Park. Final Record 2-6-1.

Fall 2011 was a terrific season for POP. In the regular season, they went 2-2-2, which got them an 8 seed in the playoffs. Then in the playoffs, POP beat the #9 seed, the #1 seed, the #4 seed, and the #2 seed on their way to an improbable league Championship. Final record 6-2-2. 1st Place.

Late Fall 2011 was a remarkable season for POP as they went undefeated throughout the whole regular season with a 4-0-2 record, but they didn't play all teams in the leauge. In the playoffs they won the first round 5-0, but then went to a shootout to win in the final four, before coming away with a remarkable 1-0 win over T.O.T for their 2nd League Championship. Final Record 7-0-2. 1st Place.

Indoor 2011 POP went 5-1-1 and earned the top spot in the playoffs. In the playoffs they had 2 one goal games, on their way to their third straight league championship. The championship game was against Chicago Beers, who were the only team to beat POP in that season. 1st Place.

Indoor 2012 POP had some of their same foes from the previous season with ICSOCCER and Chicago Beers being the class of the league again. POP lost to both in the regular season, to get the #3 seed in the playoffs. A final 4 matchup with ICSOCCER turned into an overtime affair with POP winning on sudden death. Then the championship against Chicago Beers, ended up again in sudden death overtime, this time with POP on the other end of the result. Final Record 6-4-0. 2nd Place.
