Detox/Retox
(2/9/10)
Detox/Retox. Aside from a great metaphor for dodgeball- playing a hard competitive game and sweating it out, then heading to the bar to fill up on a few (or more) brews, it’s also the name of this weeks Team of the Week. A fun-loving group who have been playing together now for three seasons they gear themselves toward fun, with a twist of (somewhat) competitiveness. At 3-2 going into week 6 of this season, they’re toeing the more “winning” line. When they do their best to play together, they have some great wins, including their performance in last season’s tournament.
“Our highlight was winning a game in the tournament last season. Followed by a strong showing where we put a little scare into the d-cons before they started really playing and then destroyed us.” Like the yin and yang of their name, this highlight was followed by a lowlight…When a team member was found curled up in Dave’s RV wrapped in two snuggies after having a couple (dozen?) too many jello shots at the EOS party. Like their final loss that tournament, they’re hoping for a better showing in the impending EOS tourney party.
Ironically, they measure their team success on number of jello shots. “We are hoping to be very successful this season.” One can only assume their goal is to spread the number of jello shots over more of their team players, rather than hoping the previously mentioned player exceeds his previous record (that left him on the floor of an RV in a parking lot in the Middle of NoPo.) Look for them in royal blue and white jerseys doing a “Detox/Retox” cheer before each game, making them easy to spot. Post-cheer, you can find them playing a few strong games where they play together in sync, right before the free-for-all in the matches to come.
