Spring Co-ed Dodgeball at the Friendly House Wednesdays

Word had been circulating around the Portland dodgeball community this past off season about a player practicing an offensive move that would revolutionize the game as we know it at the Friendly House on Wednesday nights. With rumors of this "game changer" reaching a fever pitch on social media Tuesday evening and opening day less than 24 hours away, veteran and new players alike waited with baited breath for the unveiling of this new secret weapon.
The 7:10 match on court #2 between Great Balls of Fire & Snoop Dodgy Dodge was ground zero for the revolution. A simple move, yet extremely effective if executed with the right hands. Fabian borrowed from John Stockton and unleashed the two handed chest pass/out, frustrating the opposing players all match long who were accustomed to full wind up laser throws coming from the opposite side of the gym.
Solid work Fabian...your creative new go-to move helped lead your team to a convincing 6-2 opening night victory and put the rest of the league on notice in this sure to be competitive season.

Whether it was jokingly screaming in fear while running towards the center line at the start of a game, yelling "retreat!" or looking on in sheer wonderment and asking Brad from Awesome Hardest "how do you do that?" as his balls whizzed around the court, Brianna made the games fun for everybody. She created a mood where people were just happy to be there which is really what Underdog is all about. Congratulations Brianna and All Balls Go to Heaven. You're this week's player of the week!

Everybody gets sick. Not everybody get sick and then comes out to dodge ball and dominates. Lilly did it all in the Ballrats 4-0 win vs Blue Balls. She pegged out rivals, caught balls, was the last woman standing in one of the games... and did it all while nursing the flu. It was an amazing display of grit and determination that truly embodies the Underdog spirit. Great job, Lilly! You're this week's Player of the Week!

Regan Hendryx takes dodge ball VERY seriously. After her team's championship win Wednesday night, Regan said she felt like she wanted to cry. The entire Questionable Catch team was ecstatic at the championship. It's this level of emotion that Underdog really appreciates. Congratulations to Regan and Questionable Catch. You are the Player of the Week and the Division 1 Champions.
