The New Civil War! Davis vs.Thomas...


In honor of the opening day of the Olympic games townies from Davis challenged the townies from Thomas to a game of kickball. You may think that such an event would bring out a few crazy kids to play and that's all, but not here in the mountains. At least 60 - 70 people turned out for the first ever event. Team Davis had 20 players and the same could be said for team Thomas and everyone else came out to cheer.

Umpire Roger Lilly started the event off with a reading of the rules and then Shara D. caped it off with a prepared speech to honor the Olympic nature of this game. Next the shit talking started with Team Thomas and their "You have no Beer", chant. For those of you who don't live here you should know, Mountain State Brew Pub is in Thomas and they had 2 kegs which they would not share. My team, Team Davis sent out a runner to Shop N Save for Beer and Janet came back with a few cases of Genesee. Problem solved, kinda...

It didn't take long for Team Davis to start pouring it on the low landers of Team Thomas. It was 7 - 0 before you could say Thomas is a second class town. Then it was 9 - 2. In the bottom of the seventh Thomas closed the gap with some runs to make it 9 - 7, but Team Davis was just toying with them. A 5 run eighth sealed the game for Davis and our 14 - 7 win.

Not really sure where it came from but two bottles of champagne were used to spray the crowd and our team. By that point I was feeling the beer and really didn't care. The victory party was held at Hell bender's where the beer was on the house in celebration of our towns win. Then Davis team member Chip Chase stepped the victory party up a notch with one of his mason jars filled with high octane drink that he is well known for.

The victory was short lived though. After the party Team Parson phoned in a challenge to the current Kickball champs.. Bring it on Parsons,will be waiting..
Damn I look sexy in my uniform.
