Summer Vancouver Co-Ed Kickball at Luke Jensen Park (Turf) Sundays

In the middle of what felt like the hottest day of the year so far, spirits and team morale were beginning to take a turn for the worst as the heat scorched everything in its path. However, when the heat was at its highest, Nelson was there for his team to provide support, encouragement, and most importantly, a friendly face. The sun wore down heavy upon 9866-Kick, but Nelson never let it take his cool. Nelson displayed some of the most important traits that we value here at Underdog, and for that, we name him player of the week.

Kristi Warren is a treat of a kickball player not just for her team but also the entire Luke Jensen league. She treats every player that comes her way with a smile, and doesn't let it get her down when her kicks don't go her way. Kristi had a key moment in her game today at the top of the 7th inning, kicking a key bunt in that created a bases-loaded situation for the heavy hitter on her team. Each kick previously Kristi would come up to the plate with a smile and leave it with a smile, even when the result was an out. On her final attempt it was no different; Kristi came to the plate with a smile, and had the same smile when she ran through home a kick later. Great job Kristi!

Chase arrived today for his match adorned with spirit, sportsmanship, and a classic Flint Tropics jersey (and matching short shorts!). He brought style and class to his team and the day which in itself is a great feat and deserves much praise. But Chase wasn't compensating for a lack of skill by his abundance of flair, making a spectacular catch from the ground to snag a pop fly and secure an out. Great job Chase!
