Today was a good handball day. Handball is the staple sport of the Fire Department. Racquetball is considered a girls sport while handball is what the men play.
The Challenge came out after lunch when AO throw the gauntlet down and challenge the young rookie, who I have been mentoring on the court. The game started at four. Both players had the adrenaline pumping. My student, 6’5” with long arms that almost reach across the court, came out strong and won the first game handily. The whole task force was in the stands cheering each hit and each miss. I think it was more fun for the viewers than the players.
The second game my student was about to finish the match when AO came from behind to win. Game three was close all the way. The final score 21 to 20 the rookie over the AO.
It was a fun day for all and the bantering is still flying.
