Leaky roof leads to Relocation, which leads to Victory, which leads to a Playoff Berth.
Today brought a few disappointments, which fortunately led to excitement and celebration afterwards.
We were scheduled to play our last regular season game today at Ball Gymnasium at approximately 3 this past afternoon. Upon arriving at the game sight, the game prior to ours was delayed due to a puddle that apparently formed during game play. It was determined that the puddle had formed from an active roof leak in Ball Gym. After considering the options which included playing half court, until another leak was found on the opposite side of the basketball court, and rescheduling the games, which would have had negative consequences towards the “playoff scene, the officials and league organizers decided to relocate the remaining games for the day to Irving Gym number 2.
The game we were supposed to begin at 3 o’clock today just got underway at 3:40, but in the end Team OC pulled off a big win against division rival “Pritti Bois.” The last 5 minutes of the game was decided when Off Constantly went on a 10-0 run with 3 minutes to go. The final margin of victory was around 12 points, which also gave Elliott Hall’s only basketball team it’s first playoff berth in WBA basketball.
We play our first elimination game tomorrow at 4 o’clock in Ball Gym. (Hopefully they fixed the leaks…) If we win both playoff games tomorrow we will be in the championship game in Worthern Arena next weekend. The games will be the toughest that we have faced all season. Anyone is welcome to come support their favorite team, just come out to watch and waste away an afternoon free of charge. More updates and “Meet the Team” interviews will be coming soon.

I really liked this post. It wasn't the normal subculture, artifact post or anything like that, but it was actually something fun to read. Nothing can do stop Off Constantly!
