| As the guiding light of his board, ic captain Loomis has much to live up to. To some extent he has fulfilled expectations for the minnows - /ic/ have never lost a match in which their esteemed striker and captain has scored. Loomis had to wait some time for his maiden goal after playing second fiddle to the aptly-named Main Dude in 2012's Summer friendlies. His moment finally arrived the coming season as he scored early on against diy to help them on to a 2-1 friendly victory. /ic/'s tournament debut was one to forget, though Loomis was able to leave with a single goal to his name in a victory against promotees h. After a listless Winter /ic/ held firm in their reputation as draw masters in the most recent Spring Babby Cup. In spite of his three-goal contribution, for all their efforts /ic/ again failed to advance to the big time with a meagre two points to their name. Following the new height regulations after the Summer Cup, Loomis held on to his imposing 205cm stature making him an important target man. With a card set betraying his size, Loomis is equipped for deft touches and mazy runs and is never shy to attempt a shot on goal from any range. Autumn 2013 represented the most important time in their short history, fighting for a chance to remain a Babby and possibly remain a living team at all. While manager Pato struggled to make it to the dugout, Loomis put /ic/ on his back as they earned 2-2 draws against resolute gd and their fellow provisionals, eager e. With three goals and two man of the match awards, Loomis' importance to the side were clear to see. Autumn spelled a seasonal rematch against /diy/, though this one held much more importance than the last. Another goal in another draw ended Loomis' tournament with four goals in as many matches though his side would not advance with only three points. Loomis must reflect during a second quiet Winter, bring things back to basics, and teach /ic/ how to move beyond their sketchy past.
