Howdy,
We are winners.
My youngest brother, David, and I beat my taller brothers, Christopher and Casey, in a Best of Seven Spike Ball on the beach face off. A Championship.
Second annual.
Winners. Champions.
To tell you the truth, I actually don’t remember who won the Spike Ball ‘Chip last year, but they said that David and I won the tallied series in our first year, and I’d tend to believe them on that.
This time around, capturing the title was a battle of epic proportions, a struggle of wills layering in tension for a real nail biter, both teams turning in a gritty performance–literally, as it played out on the sand and ocean waves washing into our court–but David and I “never gave up hope” and will be looking for a three-peat next year, as we sincerely hope and truly intend to make the brothers trip and time together an annual thing extending far into the future.
It’s a winning weekend.
—Billy
Razzing. Winning. Spiking.
