Fall Co-ed Kickball at Lower Woodlands Mondays

Player of the week for Kickball at Lower Woodlands goes to Matt of the Kicking Assets (just so you know Matt Rowe was selected but you have 2 matts, so a hundred apologies if I got the wrong Matt). It was Matt's first time back in the kickball big leagues since he underwent Tommy John surgery pitching for the pee wee kickball slammers when he was 9 years old. A little rusty at first, but when the time was right, he stepped up to the plate and blasted a 3 run homer over the outfielders heads. Those runs helped them beat their rough and tough opponents, the Balls and Dolls 13 to 8. In an interview after the game, he told us that, and I'm paraphrasing here, "I can't really take credit. the glory really goes to my teammates". Beautifully said, Matt. And great job out there!!!

In kickball, rarely does an individual player dominate so much that they repeatedly stand out during the course of a game. Not so this past Monday at Lower Woodlands park. During his game tonight, Ricky accounted for over 50% of his team's putouts, registering show-stopping plays on a consistent basis. He dominated the game, and for that he is our player of the week.

Nick started a little slow in right field bobbling and dropping his first catch attempt in the first game of a double header. However, he came back with style making several difficult running catches while also knocking in a run and scoring one himself, accounting for all his team's offense in game 1. In the second game, Nick continued to keep his team in the game making every catch that came his way [and there were many.] Offensively, he again hit some big kicks with another RKI and run scored tallying over half of the scoring for the Score-gasms.
