Team Cairns and Youngman end the championship in a tie 27-27

In a game with more questions than answers, both teams left the game not knowing if they had won or not.  When Coach Cairns confronted Youngman, he asked, "Do you know what the white line on the floor is for?"  The question was aimed at many of her players for shooting in front of the line.

Youngman replied with one hand on hip while the other waving aimlessly in the air, "With the length of these new lashes, I can't see the floor!"

As Youngman watched the Cairns game film, she asked with several finger wags and head snaps, "Why do I only see the tops of heads?  These could be Santa's elves for all I know!"

Cairns reply to her comment was, "Look, it took me an hour and 15 minutes to figure out how to record the game (although it was Cairns fourth time in Roadrunner Gymnasium). I was afraid to mess with the camera once it started rolling."

Without hesitating, Youngman smacked her lips and put her hand in Cairns face as if she was saying, "Child Please!"  Unfortunately, one of her nails flew off and grazed Cairns retina.  Fortunately, she had her nurse passes and was able to send him to Ms. Kia promptly.

After a brief rest and some crackers, Coach Cairns was able to make a full recovery.

Both teams will be credited as co-champions and receive Snow Cone bonuses for their achievements.

Team White's Kammari ends the first week of play with an 18 pointer

 

Entering this week's tournament, Team White didn't know what to expect.  They had never played Strategy Ball before.  Knowing that they were going against a tough, well taught Bradley Team, it wasn't looking very promising.

All that changed when White's Kammari stepped to the line to attempt his first shot.  He calmly answered the math question, took aim at the 18 point  basket, and shot the ball with a gentle touch.  Team White couldn't believe what they saw next.  The ball hit the rim, popped up into the air, and went straight down the middle of the hoop.  Team White went into a frenzy.  Shortly after that, Yodany sank a 6 pointer that would give Team White the win over Team Bradley 24-18.

Team Manley erupts for 42, then disqualified from the tournament for excessive celebrating

Coming into the tournament, Team Manley didn't disappoint as they dropped 42 points this afternoon.  Led by Patrick, Camrey, Olivia, and Brody (9 points each) and Jordan, Jocelyn, Zaiydan, and Randy (6 points each) the team looked as good as advertised.  It wasn't their skills that was lacking, but their lack of discipline.

Virtually after every basket made the team would celebrate as the crowd cheered on.  Although they knocked themselves out of the tourney, the crowd seemed to appreciate the dance moves.

"I think they should allow them to dance!" one of the members in the student section suggested.  "That was my favorite part of the game" another fan shouted.

"We will continue to dance after every basket made!" Coach Manley stated.  "It's what we do."

After a fast start, Kucharski's squad goes cold down the stretch

Most coaches would be happy opening up the season with a 15 point performance, but as Coach K fired a snack pack in disgust when the timer was winding down, she didn't have to say a word to her team. The pudding was on the wall.   "We just didn't finish strong" Coach K said in a brief statement before going after a heckler in the student section.

Led by several players with 3 points apiece. The team hopes that their total of 15 points will be enough against a young and hungry team led by Coach Hill.  Coach Hill's team will play later this week.

Team Hill plays great,  but can't match Team Kucharski

Team Cormier wasn't sure how they would do in their first game at Strategy Ball since they had never played before, but after a slow beginning to the game, Coach Cormier seemed to be pleased.  "Wow, that was a lot of fun! Especially with 2 other classes in the room at the same time as we were.  Next game I hope we can cram 5 in here!"

Team Cormier awaits the results of their rival, Team J. Cavaliere, which will play later this week.

Jaques' Class Ignites for 30 Points in Opening Game

Playing in their first game of the year, Mrs. Jaques' class surprised many by setting a record high in points scored by any 2nd grade class in Strategy Ball history.  Led by Paul (9 points), this class showed that they are instant favorites to win the Snow Cone classic.  Their competitor (Mrs. Baker's class) will take their shot at taking down Jaques and her crew later this week.
