Recap

After a controversial ending and the ensuing chaos, we finally got a chance to see the finals for the forfeit-riddled Winter session of 2023. It came down to the 1-seed Gersitz vs the 3-seed Cole.

Team Gersitz started hot, jumping out to a ten-point lead at the half, but failed to play any defense in the second half. Instead, they elected to allow Team Cole to shoot uncontested threes, like a bunch of carnies charging $3 for 5 shots at the basket. I suppose that makes sense because Team Gersitz did have a miserable night shooting eight-team airballs. I guess they had to collect that money back somehow. Overall, they were led by a solid effort from newcomer Garrett, who had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and from Crazy Al (16 points).

Team Cole drained 9 three pointers (majority in the second half) to complete their comeback and take home the title. Wayne and Richie took turns pulling a Ford, claiming devastating injuries only to return heroically and help their team. Cole was the key cog though in all this mess as he was all over the court to the tune of 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. In the end, Richie finally won a big boy title on the back of his nemesis and a DadBod, Chris Cole. All the years of allowing Cole to have his way with his sister finally came full circle and paid off. She may be the big winner in all of this as she no longer has to say “is it in yet” on a nightly basis.

Congrats to the champs may your title reign be short and sucky….long live the DadBods!
