Dodge This......

Welp,....this past Saturday I can honestly say I had the single most bestest time at a sporting event ever! Me and 5 dudes played in a Dodgeball Tournament put on by Chick-Fil-a at the Atlanta Silverbacks Stadium in the ATL. There were close to 80 teams from all over who were there to try and win the grand prize. The prize was 500 dollars and chick-fil-a value meals for a year. The free food is like diamonds....I mean who doesn't eat there once a week? After we went 6 and 1 in pool play, we climbed our way through the single-elimination bracket to the semi-finals. The semis and the championship game were played on the center court in front of everybody to see. It was a little nerve racking....not to mention my adrenaline had been pumping at full force since the day before! We won the Semi-final game pretty quickly....and now it was on to the Finals. By the way, our team name was "Me Throw Stuff," and we played the championship against "O'Doyle Rules." Our team consisted of Me, Kevin Lamb, Ben Clifton, Andrew Dow, Cole Taylor, and Keith Wages. We were down 4 players to 2 with 1:27 left to go. Somehow our team managed to knock two players out and even the score with less than 30 seconds to go. Unwilling to throw the final balls, both teams held onto to them to force an overtime. Overtime is pretty complicated, so I will save you the legal matters and go straight to the action. Basically, they had a chance to throw at us....they missed......we took our chance to throw at them.....BULLSEYE! Game...Set...Match! We won the tourney and have been feasting on Chick-Fil-A ever since!
