I think my husband is pretty funny and ingenious so I wanted to share it with you. Here is his mock-article he wrote up about our Kickball Game last Tuesday:
BAD NEWS FOLLOWS COME-FROM-BEHIND DRAW FOR 169
The office was riding high on emotion last Tuesday
night as they prepped for their second match of the season. After an
impressive showing in their first game, the competitors hoped that small
amount of experience would pay off. Boy did
it ever!
Intimidation may have played a factor in the first
two innings as 169 failed to get a runner home – leaving the score 5-0
in favor of the much more athletic BLAZERS. But the kicking came alive
for the team as everyone was able to keep the
ball low on the ground and move runners around the bases. Mike Holman,
making his debut on the office team, added great insurance in the field
as he made several diving catches. “We exhibited a high level of emotion
and competition tonight it feels like,”
said Hailey Hamblin. “But it was always encouraging and uplifting. We
built each other up. We left the game tonight still as friends. Those
other guys – they want to kill each other right now!”
This is true. Frustration seemed to boil over for
the Blazers who for three straight innings, stranded runners on all the
bases without effectively capitalizing on the scoreboard. The office was
able to come back from being down by 5 twice
in the game to eventually lead by one run going into the final inning.
Another stout defensive effort kept the Blazers to just two runs and as
the Office entered the bottom half of the inning with the tieing run on
base, victory seemed almost assured. Some
unfortunate plays resulted in just that lone run being scored, as
Parker Wilkinson, the team’s final kicker was unable to make it pass
third before being tagged out.
The Office celebrated after the draw – recognizing
the major strides they had made individually and as a team - and
thoughts immediately turned to their next game which will kick off TUESDAY night at 6:15 against “CAN I CALL YOU SCOTT”.
But it wasn’t long after the team left the field that unfortunate news was confirmed.
Sources have confirmed that Wilkinson has been
suspended from play due to an Honor Code Infraction***. Team captain,
Brett Mecham, had this to say regarding the suspension:
“Ya know, it’s just disappointing. He had been
doing so well. He had just gotten a haircut even. Just doing everything
right. We don’t know the details of what may have happened, but we want
him to know that we are all behind him and will
support him every step of the way. He will be missed on Tuesday.”

Wilkinson will have a disciplinary hearing with Cecil during the game on Tuesday,
but will then immediately be allowed to appeal the suspension. During
the appeal process, Wilkinson will be allowed to rejoin the team until a
decision has
been reached in April of 2018.
