Innate Skill of Team LaChance Affronts Team-Z

Ken Chance (Lead of Team LaChance) writes:

The latest best of nine series in Rochester ended with yet another humiliating defeat, for Team Z Obut. All we in the reporting staff can recommend to the humbled Obut team is "Get some new boules." This evenings round HAD to hurt.

Team LaChance Integrale (Ken Chance) showed up out of form, even delirious, and in no time Team Z Obut (Joe Zajac) had amassed a commanding 12-4 lead. The thronging Petanque crowds seemed to lose interest in the match, and most of them departed to the concessions to get a beer.

But when they returned, Voila!, Team LaChance Integrale had pulled out an unexpected surprise victory coming from far behind to score 12-13.

And we are sorry to report that the evening did not improve for Mr. Zajac. In the seventh, but final, game of the best of nine series, Team Z Obut slinked away with a 13-9 loss. When asked later what had happened, JZ's only comment was, "We need to think about banning Mr. LaChance from the sport! He comes here with no practice, and still insults the teams on the court with these gauche affronts." But of course, one man's gauche is another man's droit! And Mr. LaChance was carried off of the piste on the shoulders of his adoring public....

End of report.
