Due to popular demand, itsjustkickball will be adding a Game of the Week posting. We will be highlighting a game that looks to have all the drama, intensity, and entertainment value we come to expect from a great kickball game.

This week's Game of the Week is the much anticipated match-up between the mighty, unstoppable, ever dominating, team demolishing, two-time champion, bone crushing, ball kicking, home-run slamming, and undisputed heavy weight champions of kickball...the Shockers and their unsuspecting prey Scared Hitless.

The Shockers are undoubtedly the #1 team in SCK. They have two championships back-to-back and an almost flawless record. You can literally count the number of games they lost on one hand. The only regular season lost the Shockers suffered was at the hands of the Drunken Monkeyz. The only other kickball bouts they lost came in a charity kickball tournament, which brought them to a total of 3 loses lifetime. The Shockers have a swagger about them, which is understandable. Team after team has tried to upset the Shocks, only to fall short. They have had numerous scares but when the game is on the line, they always seem to fight back and win. Just ask their nemesis the Balls & Dolls. who had the Shockers on the ropes in a season ending semi-final playoff, only to have the Shocks come back and crush the Bs & Ds dreams of a kickball championship into a million sad tiny little pieces. I had never seen so many grown men cry....
They are now up against a SCK rookie team Scared Hitless who is out to end the Shocker Dynasty.

I don't know much about Scared Hitless. I do know that they are a Thursday night league team, who had a great season last year. Like a bunch of hitmen, they have come to collect a bounty. Everyone wants to play the best and now they will have their chance. However what few people might now know is Scared Hitless has already beaten the Shockers, not once but twice! How can this be? Well remember the two loses the Shocks suffered during that charity tourney, those two spankings came from the paddle of Scared Hitless. During the tourney Scared Hitless played under a different name and now the mask comes off. They have found themselves with an opportunity to beat the Shockers for a third time. This time for all the kickball world to see. This will be a very interesting match-up.

If you have a chance, I would make some time to catch this game. It should be fun, very fun.
