Legitimacy

This Spring 2011 King of Kickball tourney was held this past Saturday, while the end result of Balls to the Wall winning the title was pretty much expected, the real story came from the unexpected results. Balls to the Wall's opponent in the championship game was none other than the now legitimate Balls & Dolls.

The Balls & Dolls kickball squad has been around since the inception of SCK. The team has always consisted of the same kickballers who joined up during those early days of SCK. The Bs & Ds never go out and actively recruit kickballers like many other teams do. They strictly work with the players that they have. They practice, they work hard, and dedicate themselves to getting better each season.

The Balls & Dolls' biggest criticism , according to the Angry Umpire, is "they think they are better than they actually are." Well it looks like he is going to have to eat his own words, because it turns out the Bs & Ds are the real deal. During the King of Kickball tourney, they found themselves having to take down not one, but two, kickball juggernauts.

The first dragon they had to slay came in the form of a Drunken Monkey. Which they were able to defeat with a close 3-2 final score. Needless to say the Drunken Monkeyz were absolutely stunned.

Not too long after dropping the Monkeyz, the Balls and Dolls had to then face their long time nemesis, the mighty mighty Shockers. Both these teams respect each other highly; however in their 5 season rivalry, the Shockers have defeated the Bs&Ds everytime they've met. It has been a very lopsided rivalry to say the least. But after seasons and seasons of trying, the Balls and Dolls finally got their sweet justice as they eliminated the Shockers from the tourney, like the Shockers had done to them so many times before.

I had a chance to speak with Coach T from the Shockers and this is what he had to say...
