The Elite Dodge Ball Squad recieves their celebratory medals and belt after winning the tournament.

Due to a series of upsets in both the quarterfinals and semifinals of this year’s dodge ball tournament, the final match was held between two teams of underestimated, underappreciated, underclassmen. One team, Plan C, was comprised of freshman. While  The Elite Dodge Ball Squad, a team of sophomores, fashionably sported matching yellow outfits. “It was a disappointment to see a game without any seniors, even if I am myself a junior. It just wasn’t right,” said Ishav Singh. Many spectators were upset with the turnout, hoping they would be able to see teams like The Purple Cobras, or Team: Get on our Level in the finals. “I think they made it this far simply by being such small targets,” said senior Stephen Curren, whose team lost to Plan C in the semifinals. The actual championship game wasn’t very exciting either, with a quick elimination of Plan C by The Elite Dodge Ball Squad that consisted of no big hits or gasp inducing plays. When the game had been won the gym let out a feeble round of applause for a few seconds, the crowd was bored. But not for long. Soon enough Team COD and The Tight Ends stormed the court to face off as crowd favorites. “That was honestly the funniest dodge ball game I have ever seen! No rules applied but that just made it even better” said junior Ryan Kelleher. Team COD launched tennis ball grenades at their opponents while they crawled across the court in a prone position to start the game.

Both teams participated in throwing balls into the ceiling, audience, and of course the referee, junior John Graham. Full of acrobatic stunts and hidden weapons, the last match left spectators satisfied with this year’s dodge ball tournament.
