AGAINST ALL ODDS

 Vegas had them at  4 to 1  odds even though there were only three teams in the tournament. On paper, they were the team least likely to win. The White team clinched one Culture Cup Championship in the past ten years.  Luckily, there were at least eight people in the world who envisioned themselves winning. And guess what?  That's all they needed: a vision, determination, and a strategy to pull it off. They played their butts off to become the 2021 Culture Cup champions. Rookie team captain, Blaise Brandon, had his guys motivated by demonstrating that this would be their year to win. All eight players at least picked up 1.5 points for their team. Sean Hinton and Matt Brand were a perfect 2 to 2, and each gained 4 points in their rookie debut. Chris Allen and Joe Hart, the only two veterans on the team, also played exceptionally well. They scored 3.5 points each and were named Co MVP by taking down the Blue team's best two players, Captain Roland Turner and Vincent Gilmore. Also on this team of champions was Shadrick Wall with 3.5 points, Ethan Bulthouse with 2.0, and Jason Anderson with 1.50 points.  The final score was 17.5 White Team, 13.5 Blue Team, and the defending champs, the Red Team, only managed 5 points.  This score earned the Red Team a spot in the history of the Cup with the lowest cumulative points ever score.
  I have listened to all the white noise for the past few weeks, and I thought it was just trash-talking. I never imagined the possibility of your team coming together and working as one. So, hats off to the White team for showing up to show out.  Only one thing left to say,  "Congratulations, and we'll see you all next year."
