BROIV RECAPATATION: PART IV- A NEW HOPE

The fact that I've now stretched this recap to part four and I'm only on event four is some sort of miracle on par with the Chris E. not straight up murdering someone while visiting Disney World.  That being said, buckle up, this thing could be over faster than Claude Giroux's hands on a cops ass.

EVENT FOUR: THREE POINT SHOOT OUT
Team Blue is up 2-1 on Team Army heading into the revamped basketball event of the day.  Fearful of more dental emergencies, full court basketball was converted to a three point shoot out this year.  Weaver opened the event, scoring 7 pts for team Army.  Anthony answered with three points for team blue.  7-3 Army after one shooter a piece. Chris, not wanting Anthony to walk away with scoring the least amount of points promptly posted a 2. As expected, Lewis did okay at this event, walking away with 9 spot. 12-9 Team Blue.  Rose put up 4, while Motz tried to keep things close with a 2 of his own. 14-13 Blue.  Chad added 4 more to Team Army's tally, but Blue started pulling away with Nate's elite 8.  22-17 Blue.   Mike E. somehow scored 6 points to put Army up by one 23-22 with one shooter left for Blue.  Unfortunately for Army, you could say Blue's next shooter had a what some may refer to as a "home court advantage".  Ty did not disappoint, adding an elite 8 of his own. Sealing round one for Blue with a score of 30-23.

Throughout the three point shoot out, many side bets were taking place.  Perhaps too many by one man.  Mike E. was determined to get enough people to take different shots... to one, get the over on the "number of different types of alcohol consumed" prop bet and two, get the other team drinking liquor.  To accomplish this feat, he would have to compromise and bet shots over something called "Dude" and then make a 3 pt. shot. Lets just say Mike E. never thought he'd be taking so many shots of dude in his life. (quote him on that)

Undetermined, Team Army forged ahead and stole round two as Team Blue looked like they were auditioning for some HGTV masonry special with the amount of bricks they were laying. Here's the official break down of round 2:

1. Weaver- 7          2. Anthony- 7          Army 7 - Blue 7
3. Chris- 4              4. Lewis- 7             Army 11- Blue 14
5. Rose- 8              6. Motz- 1              Army 19 - Blue 15
7. Lentz- 4             8. Pigott- 3             Army 23- Blue 18
9. Mike E.- 5        10. Fugate- 3           Army 28 - Blue 21

Unexpectedly, we were heading to round 3!  Team Army's excitement of pushing this underdog of an event to a third round was quickly extinguished as they decided to do some fancy brick work of their own.  They were tossing bricks as if the big bad wolf was on a bullet train straight for Brolympic HQ.  And always a bad sign, Mike E. had the high score for Army with his 4 spot to close round 3.  Unfortunately they were down by 8 going into the final frame and Ty tacked on four more for Blue for the final score of 22-14 team Blue. For completests here is the box score for Round 3:

1. Weaver- 3          2. Anthony- 7          Army 3 - Blue 7
2. Chris- 2              4. Lewis- 3             Army 5 - Blue 10
5. Rose- 2              6. Motz- 4              Army 7 - Blue 14
7. Lentz- 3              8. Pigott- 4            Army 10 - Blue 18
9. Mike E.- 4         10. Fugate- 4          Army 14 - Blue 22

Team Blue finds themselves in a familiar position up 3-1 heading into event 5.

LUNCH BREAK
Being the geniuses that we are, meatballs were prepared in advance this year so that we were not going to the Bowling Alley on an empty stomach.  Many meatballs were devoured.  Some honey flavored whiskey was also consumed. (#foreshadowing) All and all, a brief nutritious break to the days festivities.  

EVENT FIVE: BOWLING
There were certain expectations involving the van ride to the bowling alley.  Some drinking performances from prior years were not replicated.  Speaking for myself, I could not balance the delicate dance of Kobayashi'ing multiple brews on top of a belly full of dude and meat, all while sitting shotgun and trying to hold a conversation with our third year driver.  Let's be honest, a man can only have so much magic in him.

I've made a huge mistake...

Bowling is always a cluster eff of fun and debauchery.  I'm really not sure how it happened, but Team Army...the same Team Army that have been OH for THREE the last three years in bowling...not winning a single round of bowling...THAT Team Army, WON THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS AND THE EVENT THIS YEAR!  Do you believe in musty rental shoed miracles?!!
