Week 23
Another capacity crowd filled St Stephen’s Junior High School Gymnasium on Tuesday where 40 eager participants arrived with dreams of hoisting the most coveted prize in all of COC sports, the Dodge Ball Cup!! With just 4 weeks remaining, time was running out for those still searching to have their name forever engraved on the infamous, Dodge Ball Wall of Fame! As usual, the participants, a nice mix of veterans and rookies, 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 the first of 20 round robin games.
Each team played 10 times to determine their seeding for the playoffs. The competition was fierce as teams jockeyed for position throughout the 20 game round robin. The Alcoballics finished with a strong 7-3 record followed closely by both JP Morgan and Papa G’s who finished with identical 5-5 records. The 2nd place tie breaker went to JP Morgan as a result of their winning record against Papa G’s. Last but not least were the Brown Balls, who struggled early on but steadily improved in the 2nd half of the tournament to finish at 3-7.
In the semi-finals, the #1 ranked Alcoballics advanced with a 2-1 series victory despite a gusty performance by the underdog Brown Balls squad. In other action, JP Morgan out muscled Papa G’s defeating them in 2 straight games to earn a date with the Alcoballics in the championship series.
In the medal round, the lowly Brown Balls capped off their impressive playoff performance with a convincing series sweep of an overconfident Papa G’s team. In the gold medal championship series, JP Morgan grabbed an early 1-0 series lead but could not contain the dynamic duo of Franco & Gerardo who eventually lead their team to victory in games 2 and 3 to capture the CUP! Congratulations Alcoballics on your gold meal performance tonight!
