Getting better

Because of hard work, practice, and strategy, Casey's paintball team had their first real success last weekend. They placed third in a speedball tournament. To say the boys were pleased would be quite the understatement. Since one of their regular players had a bum toe, they relegated him to filming the matches. As soon as the boys got back, Casey began editing the footage into this little montage.

Enjoy. We certainly did.

By the way, Casey's team is in the red. The last few seconds focus on Austin, who was out of paintballs and actually was able to find one on the ground and load it into his hopper. He was the lone team member left. Everyone else had been hit. He faced the only remaining member of their opponent's team. Unfortunately for Austin, his opponent had plenty of ammo. Yet, Austin was able to sneak around and charge in ready to shoot the player. But, alas, his lone paintball ended up falling out of his hopper as he sprinted over to where his opponent was bunkered.

Had he been able to make the shot, the team would have placed second. However, everyone at the tournament recognized Austin's effort and his heady manuever.
