Season 3 Week 26
Another great group of COC’ers gathered together at Stephen Junior High School this evening, each arriving with dreams of hoisting the most coveted prize in all of COC sports, the Dodge Ball Cup and having their name forever engraved on the infamous, Dodge Ball Wall of Fame! As customary, participants received their team assignment based on the playing card they randomly selected from the deck. Once everyone had checked in, participants divided up into their respective teams, introduced themselves and came up with a team name for the tournament. After a few minutes of team bonding, the names were submitted and the quest for GOLD began with the first of 20 round robin match ups.
Each team battled hard through a grueling 10 game seeding round to determine their playoff positioning. At the half way point 3 of the 4 teams were deadlocked with identical 2-3 records but by the end of the round robin the contenders had separated themselves from the pretenders. Sloppy French lead the way with an impressive 8-2 performance followed by Strawberry Shortcake and the Blue Devils at 5-4-1 and 4-5-1 records respectively. Last but not least was Sweet Grass who flat lined in the 2nd half of the round robin going 0-5 to finish at a disappointing 2-8.
In the semi-finals, Sloppy French quickly disposed of Sweet Grass in 2 straight games while the Blue Devils upset Strawberry Shortcake with a series sweep as well setting up an exciting championship series between Blue and Gold.
In the medal round, both series required a 3rd and deciding game to determine a winner. Sweet Grass earned their first victory in 8 tries in game 2 of the bronze to pull even with Strawberry Shortcake but that’s as close as they would get to bringing home a medal after Strawberry Shortcake quickly rebounded to take back the series. In other action, the Blue Devils gave tournament favourite Sloppy French a scare with a victory in the series opener but their excitement was short lived as the French roared back to win the final 2 games and capture the gold! Congratulations Sloppy French on your well earned Dodge Ball Cup victory tonight!
