Dodge Ball Vs. Staff Infection 10/05/2009
Oct 10th
On Monday October 5th, 2009 Target Practice played dodge ball at the Keene Recreational Center against Staff Infection. Unfortunately, only three members of their team showed up so they had to forfeit. We decided to still play out the game and have Nichole, one of our 5 players in attendance, play for the other team.
The game started off well, initially it was 0-1, then 1-1, then 2-1. We were thrilled! For the first time in 19 games we were the team ahead. Sadly though, that was soon erased as the other team went on to score 8 additional points to end the game at 2-9. There were some excellent catches made by our team, most notably one by Raj where he fell and caught the ball one handed. Nichole and I talked after the game and we think it might be best to just start catching instead of throwing.
Our next game is Sunday October 11th against Bunch Of Tools at 6:45PM.
Dodgeball Game 2 1/26/2009 – Getting Better
Jan 26th
Tonight, my dodge ball team, Target Practice, had another game at 7:15 against the Uniballers. All eight of our players were in attendance tonight, including Geoffrey, Darren, and Mukund who had been away the previous week. The competition seemed much less fierce (if competition in dodge ball can be fierce), which made me a little less pessimistic. We scored the first point which came to a total shock to me considering the 0-10 blowout of the previous week.
Following our initial point, however, the other team would follow through with five of their own points, making the score 1-5. Not to be discouraged, we battled hard and flung our balls around and managed to again eliminate the other team. The final score was 2-5. I had a great time and hope the others on the team did as well. I am looking forward to the next game!
Dodgeball Championships! LOL
Dec 16th
So tonight we had the dodge ball championships… if you can call them that. It was TONS of fun as always, but we played (I found out after) the #1 team in our league, Corning. They completely destroyed us, 0-7. At one point Geoffrey and I started working together. We successfully got 2 opponents out, but then he was out and I was soon to follow.
The other team was down to 1 opponent to our 3 remaining players. Sadly, the one opponent picked our players off one by one until we had only Nicole remaining. We were hopeful that Nicole could get him out, but then the bastard made a basket! Shoot! The 5 benched players from the opposing team reentered the court as a result. She then picked off 4 of them but the remaining two got her out.
It looks like they are starting another league on January 22. I certainly plan on playing again, either with the team which I played with or by starting a new team. I know Manan will play and I’m sure a few people from the Ball Dodgers Gone Bonkers will play too. I am looking forward to another 8 weeks of fun and exercise!
