Week 21
Another great group of COC’ers filled St Stephen’s Junior High School Gymnasium on Tuesday to compete in week 21 of the 2009-2010 dodge ball season! 37 eager participants arrived with dreams of hoisting the most coveted prize in all of COC sports, the Dodge Ball Cup! As usual, participants were randomly divided into 4 teams and given the task of coming up with a name for themselves. After a few minutes of team bonding, the names were submitted and the quest for GOLD began with game 1 of the 20 game round robin.
Each team played 10 times before being seeded for the playoff rounds. As usual, there was plenty of excitement as teams jockeyed for position throughout the tournament. When the dust settled, the A-TEAM finished well ahead of the pack with an impressive 8-2 record. The race was extremely tight amongst the remaining squads as just 1 win separated all 3 teams! TEAM 1 WISHES finished at 4-5-1, ASPARAGUS TIPS were right behind at 4-6-0 and last but not least was ON THE STAGE who completed the round robin with a 3-6-1 record.
In the semi-finals, the fourth place On the Stage squad were quickly discarded by the powerful A Team who advanced to the gold medal round with a convincing series sweep. Meanwhile, in other action, the number 2 ranked Team 1 Wishes were upset by a determined 3rd place Asparagus Tips squad, settling for a spot in the bronze medal series.
In the medal round, after winning game one, Team 1 Wishes continued their playoff slide losing back to back games to finish in last while On the Stage was rewarded with a well earned bronze. In the gold medal final, Asparagus Tips lost a sudden death overtime heartbreaker in the series opener and never recovered. Game 2 was simply a formality at that point as the tournament favourite A Team completed their undefeated playoff streak to capture the Dodge Ball Cup! Congratulations A Team on your gold medal performance tonight!
