Winter Co-ed Dodgeball at Wallingford Boys and Girls Club Wednesdays

Mariners scouts should have been in attendance, cause dang! Blink and you'll miss it speed on throws; chest or shoulder hit every time; and adept maneuverability to boot! Not a bad way to start a dodgeball career.

Wow, just wow. Down to a 6 v 1 situation Jewel kept her composure and slowly whittled down the opposition. Making two outs, then a catch, using the ppl high low for another and then at the last minute making a double out with a throw and a catch almost simultaneously. Oh and don't forget the dozens of blocks and dodges going on while this is happening. Simply incredible. Way to play Jewel!

Marianne was on fire today. She played in four sets (subbing for two other teams) and was a beast the entire duration. Blocking everything coming her way and catching the rest, Marianne was quite possibly the most difficult out of the day. Even when opponents would target her with multiple shots, she would calmly sidestep, block and throw an out of her own. Congratulations on the day and ice that arm tonight.

The Untouchaballz played in three overtime games this week on their way to the Championship game, and in each of those games, Dave Marshall was the answer. Down 2-3 in their first match, Dave stayed alive and forced the extra game. In that game he was instrumental in leading his team to an easy win to advance. In game two the pace was a little slower but in the extra time game down 4 v 1 he was masterful, dodging great throws from his opponents and slowing picking them off one by one with a hit on the foot, an outstretched arm, extended hip anything left open Dave took advantage of it. Finally in the championship game with the announcement made that it was win a match to force an extra game or be done with it, he stepped up and quickly finished the game forcing the extra play. Wow! What a great dodgeball performance, we look forward to seeing you next season.
