Spring 2010 Week 5 Recap

Super-Friends vs. Ducks & Rabbits

Surprisingly, this is the first meeting between these two teams this season. With Ducks & Rabbits on hiatus for 2 weeks, you would think they'd have some rust to shake off but alas, no, they looked just fine. With most of their roster MIA, they did have enough to get the match started. After the poor showing last week, Super-Friends were looking to get back in to the flow of winning but Ducks & Rabbits welcome back party prevailed. Especially, with Cindy Mui of Ducks & Rabbits playing out of her head, doing a first-class version of the immortal "Five D's." Ducks & Rabbits win 7-4.

Ducks & Rabbits vs. Sitting Ducks
The Battle of the Ducks. Both teams were missing a few players so this match was all about stamina. With Ducks & Rabbits having to play the no. 1 team after playing a previous match, it was a steep mountain to climb. And, again the Sitting Ducks displayed why they're the no. 1 team in the league right now with their numerous offensive weapons. Sitting Ducks in a rout 10-1.

Furry Duck Balls vs. ThunderCats (Exhibition Match)

With the league starting to generating interest from outside camps, BoFDL Commish, Will Lee, scheduled an exhibition game to see what one of these interested new teams had to offer. The ThunderCats, who will be joining the league for the summer season, took on a joint team of players from the Balls of Fury and Sitting Ducks, forming the "Furry Duck Balls" (apologies to the tender-hearted). With ThunderCats looking to wet their feline feet, the Duck Balls came out blazing to welcome them in, like with Super Soakers and water balloons on the last day of school.

Surprisingly, the Cats held their gound pretty well and after playing a few games, they started to get acclimated to the rules and the pace of the game. This is a team with some talent and a lot of energy, running wild and diving for dodgeballs. They will make some noise next season. But, for now, the Furry Duck Balls and all their experience won handily 8-3.

Spring 2010 Week 4 Power Rankings

1.) Sitting Ducks (36-19-0): After losing a match in week 3, Sitting Ducks were done with losing for the season. Finally with the whole team committed for the rest of the season. They showed why they are the number 1 team this season by dominating their 2 opponents in week 4. This is going to be scary for the other teams in the league with playoffs right around the corner.

2.) Super-Friends (21-22-1): Super-Friends had been the most consistent with player attendance this season, but in week 4 they were missing some players. That kind of hurt them record wise, but they will stay put in the number 2 spot this week. Let's hope everyone shows up for the upcoming games.

3.) Balls of Fury (21-33-1): Duke Hogwild and his band of misfits realized the season is for meshing together and playoffs is where the wins count. With a shocking win over the number 1 team, confidence is building. With 1 game left in the season for them to mesh, Balls of Fury are planning to make some noise in the playoffs.

4.) Ducks & Rabbits (9-13-0): This team has been MIA for the last few weeks due to work and other reasons. Not much can be said about this team or season. Let's hope they can get everything worked out and get some games in and some rust of their shoulder before the playoffs starts.

Spring 2010 Week 4 Recap

Sitting Ducks vs. Super-Friends

Maybe this match was supposed to be the one where the Super-Friends came in, won with authority and took over no. 1 spot this week. But, the Sitting Ducks were ready, still stinging from last week's upset loss to the Balls of Fury. With Super-Friends missing some of its best offensive firepower and the Ducks having all theirs, the match was brutal. Despite one of the greatest comebacks in an individual game every seen in BoF dodgeball, the Ducks came out quacking and breezed through this one 8-3.

Balls of Fury vs. Sitting Ducks

This was a redemption game for Sitting Ducks. After losing their only match of the season so far to Balls of Fury, Ducks were out for revenge and to prove they're still the best team in the league. With BoF short handed this week, they certainly gave the Ducks a run for their money in the 1st half, going into the break, tied 3-3. The 2nd half, however, was a different story. The Sitting Ducks came out gunning and Balls of Fury just ran out of steam. Ducks win 7-4.
