Coffee Flats Terrors

This past Saturday was a two match day for the Coffee Flats Terrors.

At 2pm we squared off against Joanie Loves Bocce, last season's winners for the best name award (listen to the podcast to hear the awards presentation). Eric and Jamie started at one end of the court, with Chris and Ezra on the opposite end.

This is when I should mention that I spent a fair amount of time last week working on a sheet to use for keeping score during a game of bocce like the way one scores a baseball game. I found a email a few bocce resources and even managed to try keeping score for three pick-up games at Floyd on Thrusday night. Sadly, keeping score and recording the outcome of every ball rolled was a bit tedious for my tastes. I'm not sure if I'll revisit the idea of keeping score. I certainly didn't pull out my pen and scorebook during Saturday's matches. Because of that, I can't even remember the scores from match one. Now that I've gone all "blog" for the bocce season, I'll start taking better notes.Do any other Terrors want to jump in on the comments and fill me in on the scores?

The Terrors won the first game against JLB. Game two featured Kaci and me at one end and two of the other Terrors at the opposite end. I'm 90% sure we left Chris and Ezra in. We won the second game, and thus the match.

Before the second match against If You Want My Bocce, the Terrors gathered outside and prepared to march in to "Welcome to the Terror Dome." We also wore the number 23 to "psyche out" IYWMB star player, Mike. Once during open play one night at Floyd some bargoers referred to Mike as the "Jordan of Bocce" because of his skill with the precision roll. That's the story behind the fake numbers on our shirts. Not everyone was there to witness someone getting into MIke's head and the joke was a bit of a bomb.

Alex arrived in time for game two and stepped onto the court with Kaci. We won 7-4. Game two also went smoothly and we captured the match with a game two score of 7-2.

Our record for the season now stands at 3-0. This coming Saturday we face the relentless Cobra Kai.
