Finish Strong

In the final minutes of a closely fought match, the Ball Dodgers edged out the team from Cinci D's to claim their second victory in the final game of what has been a rough first season for them. The return of Troy and Maggie Scott helped offset the absence of certain clutch performers from two weeks ago like Tara "Indian Princess" Kassik, Brendon "Vanilla Fresh" Orr and Britt "Sqee Piddly" Standage.

The team is now entering a building phase, with high hopes for next year. Weekly throwing practice will begin at Flock Hall next week.

You just want an excuse to throw things at Squiddy.

Do we need an excuse? [Love you, Squidling!]

Squid said...

It's true too! Can I at least get a head start this time?

Yay, I wasn't forgotten about this time! I'm up for throwing balls at people.

P.S. I love my new dodge ball nickname.

I thought you'd like that better than my first idea - but you have to admit, Tara "Pocahontas" Kassik has a nice ring to it...

Flock Hall is much like the Justice League Hall now, complete with Throwing practice. Next is running, jumping, and climbing trees right?

It's kind of like Xavier's school, too - my bedroom is known as the "Danger Room." ;)

Squid said...

OO OOo Does this mean I finally get to climb the tree outside Flock Hall?! Pulease!!!

Yeah you're right, Indian Princess is much better:)

May we expect wrench dodging as a training activity in the future? ;)

"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." Oh Patches, how we need your wisdom now...

I actually do have a real plan for throwing practice. We could throw for a few minutes each afternoon on the handball court before we play. It would help us warm up, work on our accuracy, and we could build up our throwing arms to avoid "dodgeball elbow". I'll bring my dodgeball with me next time we play. Which should be soon.

"Danger Room" I'm sure comes from a completely different reason than thrown objects whizzing about the place HS.

Linus said...

It does if they're lucky... ;)

I got some practice in the other night hitting Mark in the face with a frisby, does that count?

The best part of my kickball game the other day was pegging someone as they ran to second. . . maybe I should be playing dodgeball instead.

Congrats to the Ball Dodgers on a great finish to the season!
