This week we played the Banzai Executioners again. They won our last encounter and we were hoping to get a win this time around.

Before the game, the Commissioner asked me if I would mind having another girl on the Honey Badgers. Thankfully I said yes, as Jen turned out to possess the ability to throw like a boy.

Our girls played all their games against a 4 man roster, and they played very well. Legitimately taking a couple of games from the guys. One game in particular was pretty amazing to watch. They just simply beat up their guys for that one game in a fairly dominate fashion. So proud of them

Our guys on the other hand weren’t as sharp last night. Our first match was great. Everyone felt good and seemed to play very well, easily taking the first match. Then we fell into an now too typical drought, losing several matches in a row.

I can’t seem to pinpoint on why we’re not winning, I guess the other teams are just better at this point. Losing aside, I have been seeing a lot of improvement from many of our players.

I still think that we’re almost to the point where we can start to have the little breaks go our way in a game. With the addition of Jen to a vastly improved girls team, I also feel as though we should be able to beat any girl roster now too.

Though the Honey Badgers did walk away with another loss last night to the Terror Squad, there were definitely some highlights in last nights game. Many little plays just didn’t go our way at teams. If we can start to get those to go our way, we should be able to start winning some games.

By far the highlight of the night was Dustin single handedly taking out the Terror Squad in a systematic and almost cruel fashion. Never before have I seen a lone dodgeball player pick of 3 opponents with 3 consecutive throws in under 30 seconds. It was truly a beautiful thing to behold.

Our girls really played well overall too. The improvement that they’re showing week after week is great to see. Once we get a full healthy roster back, I do think our girls can and will beat the other teams girls. I’m really impressed by their teamwork.

I personally had a pretty poor night. Really hoping to get healthy soon so that I can get back to how I was playing a few weeks back. An opponent who should never be able to beat me running to the line was able to get the ball to begin way before I was. I really do have to go to the doctor and get my groin injury checked out.

Our guys played ok with some standout play at times, but we really ought to be able to handle their guys better. I really thought that we matched up well with their guys, but just didn’t execute or make the routine plays.

I thought that Geoff and Jared really showed some improvement tonight. I saw a lot more confidence in their throws and overall play. Just waiting for the entire team to click one week. We can play better and I really hope that we start to soon.
