Profile: Stephen “Stickyfoot” Steighner is the last CO player to really go from Pro/Master. Sweater likes to call him “Spear Jr.” and if you’ve seen Spear play since 2012, you know why. First, his 5 bar is sick. It started as a simple sit still near wall stick series, and has developed into a full blown dink and dunk passing series with all kinds of options and subtle variations to keep his opponents off guard. You can sit on his pokey lane, but he will still manage to pull you off with his crafty fakes. His 3 bar is no longer watchable – it's like seeing Ricky Henderson trying to steal bases in single A ball @ 50 years old. Despite that, is 3 bar is pretty disciplined that works the entire hole – watch out for the straight while he’s setting the ball up, because you’ll kick yourself for giving him that freebie!
His loose ball catching skills are also insane which got him the name sticky. He’s comfortable as a forward, goalie, and has a very controlled methodical singles game. You can try to play fast, but he has the skills to slow it down to play how he wants to play. Aside from his fine tuned mechanics, the best part of his game is his mental one. He’s always cool under pressure, despite firing himself up with yells that can intimidate his opponents. You can’t rattle him…at all. He’s a machine. Aside from Robbie, he’s probably CO’s best all around player. He can keep up with PM’s on tour in every event and has the wins and titles to prove it.
Sticky comes and goes from the scene depending on the season, but when a state tourney is coming, and he’s training and hitting the weekly tournaments….he’s flat out great. If Sticky were to tour regularly with the top ranked players in the world, he would be right up there with them.
If a newbie were to start playing seriously – Sticky is the one whose game you can’t go wrong emulating. It’s not flashy, but it’s still impressive to watch.
Strengths: Phenomenal head game, great at picking apart defenses, one of the best all around 5’s on the planet, good defense, methodical, will never play someone else’s game.
Weaknesses: Rusty sometimes from being semi-retired, Sometimes his 3 bar pull can get lazy and slow in local tournaments, but when it counts at a regional…forget about it…he has no weakness. You make a mistake – you lose…he’s a beast.
Best Accomplishment: The never to be duplicated feat of winning a singles title at every CO State tournament for a decade, 2001 - 2010.

I can't believe you let out of staters come to Colorado and rob us of our Pro titles...it's ALL your fault! I hope you can't sleep at night.
