Loosen Your Arms

It's time to roll again!

This Saturday (April 29th) is the day the Coffee Flats Terrors head back to Floyd for our tenth match of the season. We'll face Team ODIN as we try to better our 8 and 1 record. The match starts at 3:30.

A quick look at the standings, shows that we may not be in first place. Statistically, it looks like the Plop-n-Drops have a better record with five wins and zero losses. Standings and scores seem to be a week of matches behind, though. The last match listed on the website was played Monday, April 10th.

Team ODIN isn't the only undeafeted group of players. Two other teams share that same rung in the standings. I've heard rumors that every season during the tournament, one team who performed poorly during the regular season manages to make a surprising showing, defeating better teams. Have I just jinxed the Terrors by mentioning this? Is there superstition in bocce? Will ODIN be that come-from-behind-team? Burn Baby Burn? Bad News Pandas?

The tournament starts May 13th. Reserve your seats now.

too aggressive.

as team captain i should've known better. i tried to get fancy and missed. what's worse, is that i tried to get fancy with the wrong play. the cobra kai ball i tried to take out wasn't even the closest ball. after i missed my "showoff" play, cobra kai played one more side and scored enough points to win game three. my memories of our first loss were quickly drowned by baseball talk. anyone else care to chime in with a wrap-up?
