OCVarsity Pickapalooza Deathmatch: Week 4

September 19th, 2012, 2:33 pm by

The Los Art and Memorabilia Collection has taken two big hits the past two weeks, so it’s time to come back hard in this week’s OCVarsity Pickapalooza Deathmatch.

Capo Valley fell to Esperanza, which cost me my priceless Party Time Pop Star Hannah Montana guitar clock, and Servite was defeated by Edison, costing me Thor’s hammer. Obviously, the stakes are high in OCVarsity Pickapalooza Deathmatches and I can’t afford to continue having the Los Art and Memorabilia Collection plundered. It’s time for me to start doing the plundering once again.

This is a decisive week in OCVarsity Pickapalooza Deathmatch history, so I decided to target my arch nemesis. That’s right, this week I will take on OCVarsity’s Damian Calhoun, the man behind “The Calhoun Countdown.”

Luke Skywalker had Darth Vader, Daniel Larusso had Johnny Lawrence, Batman had The Joker, the Roadrunner had Wile E. Coyote, Coke had Pepsi, Sean Archer had Castor Troy, Neo had Agent Smith, Beatrix Kiddo vs. Bill, and I have D.C.

This bitter blood feud shall be settled as all bitter blood feuds are settled … in the OCVarsity Pickapalooza Deathmatch Octagon. This week’s OCVarsity Pickapalooza Deathmatch game is Bolsa Grande at Ocean View on Friday at 7 p.m.

Servite. Mater Dei. Trinity League title on the line.

You just knew that it would be a memorable match and it was.

Servite rallied from a 9-5 deficit in the fifth game, tied the Monarchs at 12-12 and would eventually win the game and the match.

The victory gave the Friars their first league title since 1999, when they were in the Golden West League. I can’t even imagine Servite in the Golden West League.
